Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant surprises and a few disappointments. The rooms were lovely, clean, and well taken care of, but unfortunately, I encountered a broken bed during my visit. The service was a combination of unprofessional behavior from some staff members goofing off in the office instead of attending to customers, but the housekeeping team was exceptional in their professionalism and attentiveness. The location was great, especially considering the price, although there were some discrepancies with pricing at check-in. The dining experience was enjoyable, with courteous staff making me feel like family, especially Rose, the front desk receptionist. The facilities met my expectations, with everything well-maintained and in good condition.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were messy and full of stuff, making it uncomfortable with roaches around. It was noisy, and I could hear everything from above and the elevators. However, the front desk clerk assured that a room would be ready soon.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were not really clean, especially the bathroom, with old and weird decor. However, the service was very cooperative, particularly Mr Harry, despite some hygiene issues. The location was convenient being close to the interstate, but a bit hard to find. The dining experience was average, with room for improvement in the variety of options. Overall, the facilities were decent, though there were some odd folk around.
