Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, although the lack of balconies was a disappointment. The service was mostly helpful and accommodating, but at times came across as brusque. The location is nice, close to downtown, but not very child-friendly. The dining experience was mixed, with some ups and downs. Overall, a decent option considering the prime location.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic, with excellent rooms featuring a lovely fireplace and great service. The room was very hot, suitable for one person, spacious, with extra seating and a table. The service was top-notch with friendly and helpful staff who had an impressive knowledge of the whiskey selection. The location was good for what I needed, though a bit too far from the TV and had a disarrayed view from the balcony. The dining experience was adequate, but there was an issue with overcharging. Overall, a great experience!
My stay at the hotel was quite lovely. The rooms were clean and quite large, making for a comfortable experience. It was a bit warm when the heat wasn't on, but overall, it was a pleasant stay. The service was helpful and friendly, especially when accommodating requests like changing dates and finding lost items. The location was really nice, close to downtown and with good access to highways and restaurants. Though the dining experience had its hiccups, the facilities were good, and the price was reasonable.
The hotel provided okay rooms with a good size and friendly staff. Dealing with construction noise, the accommodating service stood out. The location was central and satisfying, although the dining experience had some issues. Overall, a decent stay with positives and negatives to consider.
