Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offered a mix of positives and negatives during my stay. The rooms, though a bit dated, were spotless and well-appointed, providing a comfortable experience. The service from the staff was consistently friendly and helpful, enhancing my overall enjoyment. The location was convenient but lacked clarity in directions. Dining had its ups and downs, with some pleasant surprises but also room for improvement. Despite a few shortcomings, the facilities met expectations for a satisfactory stay.
The hotel offers a good stay with some pros like comfortable rooms and a welcoming service, but there are cons like hot room conditions and limited dining options. The location is convenient for work purposes, but the town can be quite deserted in the evenings.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The rooms were comfortable, and I had a good night's sleep in a comfy King size bed. The bathroom was terrific, with both a bath and separate shower. However, the room was lit up all night, which was a bit inconvenient. The hotel is directly over the bar, so there was some noise at times.
