Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel has kind, courteous, and friendly staff, but the rooms are only prepared for one person and carry a noticeable smell of cigarettes. The location is good despite some roadworks, and the dining experience is average with some unique coffee choices. The service is professional but lacked availability at times. Facilities are decent.
Upon my arrival, the hotel had a bit of a strange smell, but overall, it was a decent stay with comfortable rooms and friendly staff. However, the service was lacking in some areas. The location was convenient, despite some limitations. The dining options were good, though a bit pricey. The hotel facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel room lacked amenities like water and even a towel, and the bathroom was not fully prepared upon arrival. However, the room seemed spacious, albeit missing additional bedding upon check-in.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms had everything a frequent traveler needs, although they had a stale cigarette smell. The service was friendly and cordial, but there were times when staff availability was lacking. The location was amazing, offering easy access to the city's attractions, restaurants, and shopping malls. The dining experience was good, but it could use more variety. The hotel's facilities were decent.
The hotel had an excellent bed but lacked amenities and preparation for adding an additional bed, causing inconvenience. The service was not up to par with unfriendly staff interactions. The dining experience offered a variety of options but with some limitations. The facilities were adequate but could be improved.
Upon arrival from the airport, the hotel itself had everything a frequent traveler needs. However, the room was not ready, and the experience was marred by an unpleasant odor that made it feel like a dead body was nearby. The service was mostly professional and welcoming, but there were issues with a specific staff member being unhelpful with a simple request. The location was good but lacked the level of cleanliness and comfort expected. The dining offerings were decent but could use more variety. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory but not exceptional.
The hotel's location is very convenient, near a shopping mall and hospital. However, the room cleanliness was not perfect, and my request for an additional bed wasn't accommodated smoothly. I was assigned a room on the 4th floor.
The hotel provided spacious and tidy rooms but lacked basic amenities like towels, requiring additional requests. The service was professional and friendly, offering immediate assistance and support. The location was excellent, with great restaurants and shopping nearby. The dining experience, while offering delicious options, needed more variety.
I stayed at this hotel, and I have to say, it was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was great, right in the center of town, with plenty of restaurants and shopping spots nearby. The service was top-notch, especially Sara who helped me with a telephone problem. However, navigating to and from the hotel from outer city limits was a bit of a nightmare. The dining options were average, nothing too special.
The hotel was a mixed experience with kind and friendly staff and comfortable rooms but fell short in meeting guest requests. The location was convenient but faced competition from other nearby hotels. The dining options were somewhat limited, and the price was considered high.
