Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were very nice and well-equipped although they could use some refreshing, and our room didn't offer a good view. The service was excellent except for the missing bath soap issue that needed attention from the staff. The location, while having some neglected buildings nearby, was convenient as it was close to restaurants and shopping areas. The dining experience was fantastic, with a buffet offering a variety of delicious options.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were well equipped and designed nicely but different from the pictures. The free parking was convenient, and the restaurant offered a great menu. However, the lack of bath soap was a downside as we had to make do with only one tiny bar left in the room.
The hotel has nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable rooms with 2 double beds that are very cozy. However, there is a need for more electrical outlets. The service is nice with well-meaning staff, though lacking in proper training. The location is terrific and close to the center, but there are some concerns about safety in the surrounding area. The dining experience is top-notch, offering fruit every day and simple yet delicious meals. The facilities are well-kept and satisfactory.
