Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean to a high standard as advertised, but the small toilet and shower room were a bit disappointing for an executive room. The vibrating noise made it hard to hear the TV, which was frustrating. The service was very helpful and polite, making up for the room issues. The location was perfect for my trip, being close to where I needed to be. The dining was a bit expensive for what it offered, but the food quality was good. Facilities were in good condition overall.
The hotel room was clean, but the lack of maintenance with bulbs and fuses was frustrating. The temperature in the room made it difficult to sleep, yet the service was exceptional. The location suited our needs perfectly, despite some issues like tobacco smell and noise disturbances. Dining was pricey but satisfactory, and the facilities overall were more than adequate.
The hotel is in a convenient location on the outskirts of the city with surprising tranquility, offering clean and comfortable rooms despite needing some updates. The friendly and approachable staff make up for any shortcomings, with good breakfast options at excellent value compared to other options. The ambiance may need a little sprucing up, but overall a decent stay.
