Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were quiet and allowed for great cross ventilation, making it perfect for our one-night stay despite the ongoing road construction nearby. The location was excellent, being very close to major roads but surprisingly quiet. The service provided by the staff was exceptional and made our Valentine's Day weekend very special. However, the dining experience was a bit lackluster with limited choices.
I had a comfortable stay at the hotel, with a surprise early check-in. The room was small and lacked a desk with a chair, but it was cozy. The noise from the nearby restaurant was a bit disturbing, especially due to the terrible ceiling fan that made it hard to sleep with it on.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was smaller than expected and lacked a desk with a chair, but we managed to rearrange things to make it work. Being close to a noisy stairwell was a downside, although the staff was incredibly helpful. The room felt a bit cramped with no view from the window.
I stayed at this hotel and found it to be nicely located with plenty of breakfast options nearby. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the noise from the highway was a drawback. The service wasn't very welcoming, and the dining options were disappointing with sad rolls wrapped in plastic. However, the location was convenient for my needs.
