Reviews and Ratings
Upon arrival, the room temperature was quite cold, but once settled, the spacious room accommodated a pullout couch with ample walking space. The room was spotlessly clean, adorned with thoughtful touches that catered to everyone's needs. The staff showed dedication to going above and beyond while maintaining a pleasant demeanor. However, some aspects of the hotel did not meet expectations.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped with amenities, but there was a musty smell and mold issue behind the wallpaper by the window. The service was excellent, with a friendly and courteous staff, although the lack of a family restaurant was a downside. The location was convenient for a road trip, but the noise from the nearby facilities like the laundry, ice, and beverage machines was a bit bothersome. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with a typical breakfast offering but a major setback of getting sick from rancid butter. Despite the ups and downs, the facilities were satisfactory and functional.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and inconvenience. The room was nice and open, equipped with all the necessities, but had a musty smell and mold issues. The service was fresh and inviting, although there were some noisy aspects to the location. The dining experience was satisfying overall, but a food quality issue left me disappointed.
