I didn’t like the surprise extra charges per person per day that were not disclosed out front to us. Paying is not the problem, the problem is making a deal and being told at the lobby I had to pay extra. The ladies at the front desk were very kind but were not able to do anything about it.

Comfortable hotel and welcoming front desk staff. Great location and we enjoyed the bar, Churchill’s. The hotel itself is sadly looking very tired in its original 1997 un-renovated form. The elevators are quite literally the slowest of any hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The hotel deserves a renovation.
