Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The hotel was under renovation so the menu was limited and only beer and wine
Hopefully they will be updated if we return in the spring next year.

Liked: Staff & service
Hotel was under renovation and use of first floor was limited. However, overall the hotel, staff, and breakfast were good. Needed to upgrade their overall cleanliness aside from the construction zone.
First, I need to say that after much complaining, I did receive a refund for my one night stay. The sheets had stains on them, bath tub was chipped . As thehotel is being renovated, no mention of iit when making the reservations . The floor we were on smelled like onions cooking. We were told the workers who stay on that floor use air fryers, electric frying pans and other cooking appliances to eat. ISNT THAT A FIRE HAZZARD?
DONT STAY HERE! The only positiveI had was Tavon at the front desk in the morning. He was empathetic and without hesitation refunded my money
Room is clean and very nice, but finding parking was a challenge based on shipping containers in parking lot.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
They were renovating while we were there so there was some noise and mess, not as nice as it has been in the past but I hope it will be back up to standard soon. I have always enjoyed staying there in years past.
There was construction going on during my stay so it was a bit dust in the lobby, otherwise everything was fine. I did want to possibly experience the pool but it was closed
