Reviews and Ratings
I found this hotel a bit dated, and while my initial thoughts weren't great, the overall stay turned out to be decent. The rooms are quite spacious but could really use a makeover. On the brighter side, I was pleasantly surprised with the good internet and the hard but comfortable bed. However, the breakfast was a letdown as the food was cold and unappetizing. In terms of location for business travel, it served its purpose, but I believe there are better options available.
My overall experience at the hotel was mixed. The service from the manager was terrible, which left a sour taste in my mouth. However, the room itself was spacious and the facilities worked fine. The dining experience could use improvement, especially at breakfast. Despite the issues, the location was decent and I appreciated the room's size.
I found the hotel to be quite comfortable and appreciated the spacious rooms. There was a great variety for breakfast, which was delicious. However, the aging decor and some maintenance issues in my room detracted from the overall experience. The location was quiet and convenient for nearby attractions, but the wait for the elevator was a hassle during busy times.
