Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, quiet, and comfortable, creating a cozy and very clean ambiance. However, it did get a bit warm without the air conditioning running constantly. The service was top-notch, with staff being pleasant and accommodating, even advising on convenient parking closer to our room. The hotel's location was superb, nestled in a quiet area yet easily accessible. The dining experience was a mix of delights and disappointments, with a good variety of options but some inconsistencies. Overall, a great value for money hotel with a few quirks.
The hotel rooms were comfortable and cozy, but had some issues with safety and maintenance. The service ranged from snooty to very nice, with a mix of professionalism levels. The dining options were a mixed bag, with some redeeming qualities. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the service was exceptional and went above my expectations, the room was quite disappointing as it was both very loud and uncomfortably hot, which affected my ability to get a full night's sleep. On the bright side, the dining experience was really good, with a decent selection of options available. The facilities were adequate, but the room not being serviced by housekeeping was a significant drawback.
The hotel had its ups and downs. I found the rooms to be just okay, clean, but the strong bleach smell was a bit overwhelming. Unfortunately, the noise levels disrupted my sleep, and there was confusion about the room assignment. On the bright side, the service was top-notch, with attentive and professional staff, although there were a few hiccups with parking instructions. The location was ideal for me, close to my daughter's apartment and easy to find, despite being a bit crowded due to a sports team. The dining experience was a mixed bag, with good basic options, but limited hours. The facilities were generally fine.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room was well-kept and comfortable, and the staff provided a welcoming atmosphere. However, some aspects like the limited breakfast options were a bit of a downside. The location was convenient despite being a bit away from main attractions, and the bar area was a bit empty in the early morning hours.
I found the hotel to be conveniently located and easy to find. The service was top-notch, with very friendly staff, although the dining experience left much to be desired. The rooms were clean and spacious, providing a comfortable stay. Overall, good value for money with a few minor drawbacks.
