Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were always so clean, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, giving me the best night's rest I've had in a long time. The service was helpful and friendly, making me feel welcome and well taken care of. The location was very convenient, right off the highway, allowing easy access to everything I needed. The dining experience had its downsides, especially the limited breakfast options, but overall, it was a good stay.
The hotel is in a convenient location, great for visiting family and escaping the city buzz. The rooms were clean and in good shape, though they initially had a slight unpleasant odor and were a bit cold. The service was friendly and helpful, as they accommodated our requests during a storm. The dining experience was a mix of good and bad, with great food but limited breakfast hours. Overall, a decent value for money stay.
The hotel rooms weren't worth the money as they had a horrible tobacco pipe smell and only offered a rollaway instead of two queens. The service was professional, and they assured me there were no problems in the room I stayed in, unlike previous issues with other rooms. The location was perfect for a relaxing stay, but it seemed slightly overshadowed by being used as a storage room with plastic garbage bags and boxes. The dining experience had a nice selection but was difficult to get service when needed. Facilities were average with some areas needing improvement.
Upon arrival, the room had a slight unpleasant odor, but once inside, it was clean and comfortable. The staff were always cheerful and helpful, even with the surrounding weather and road conditions. The location was fantastic for visiting family and right off the highway. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money.
I walked into the hotel and immediately noticed a not-so-pleasant smell in the room, like dirty bodies had been there before. However, the rooms themselves were in good shape, clean, and the beds were incredibly comfy, giving me the best night's rest I've had in a while.
The hotel rooms were incredibly comfortable and clean, providing the best night's rest. However, some difficulties were encountered due to limited mobility. The service was friendly and welcoming, offering a range of amenities, but some issues were out of the staff's control. The location was convenient and easy to find, away from city noise, but could have had better amenities for the price. Dining options were good but impacted by external factors. Overall, a satisfying stay with minor drawbacks.
