“Great Stay”

We arrived at the hotel just after 12 noon and they had a room ready for us, which was a great surprise. The room had everything you could need for your stay and was lovely and clean.

We arrived at the hotel just after 12 noon and they had a room ready for us, which was a great surprise. The room had everything you could need for your stay and was lovely and clean. We had lunch in the restaurant, the food was quick to arrive, and very tasty, the member of staff that served us was the highlight. He was so accommodating and very friendly, he even double checked to make sure my meal was Gluten free, unfortunately I didn’t get his name. Nothing was too much trouble. Only a 20 minute walk to the city centre. We would stay here again.

“Solid chain hotel experience”

My husband and I stayed for two nights. It was a good location, away from all the business but still walking distance from basically everything. There was a parking lot ($15/night). We had some difficulty getting in, since we're international and didn't have the cell service to call in for them to … more

My husband and I stayed for two nights. It was a good location, away from all the business but still walking distance from basically everything. There was a parking lot ($15/night). We had some difficulty getting in, since we're international and didn't have the cell service to call in for them to open it. I walked in to ask them to watch the camera and buzz us in, but we ended up waiting for a while for an apartment resident to buzz it open. The room was fine. There was breakfast in the morning for an extra surcharge, so we did not partake.

“Would prefer not to stay here again”

I’ve stayed in this hotel twice in the last three months, each time for five nights on business. I can only describe this hotel as basic. The staff mostly appear unhappy in their roles and smiles are rare. On both occasions that I stayed, the welcome was courteous but cold, certainly not friendly and welcoming. The only exception to this was an older gentleman who helps at breakfast. The rooms are fine, though I found the beds (on both stays) uncomfortable. The rooms were very clean and had water, coffee sachets and tea bags provided (though replenishing milk pots was missed on a few days). Being a business traveller, I needed to use the iron provided in the room. That was an experience I’d rather not go through again. Breakfast looked much better than it tasted. For the price charged for the hotel room I would have expected better quality overall. I would suggest the hotel’s manager visits another hotel and tastes their breakfast and (s)he will see what I mean. There’s a pretty good offering, volume-wise, but the quality was poor overall. I didn’t have breakfast after the first two mornings, choosing instead to eat at our staff canteen. Given how poor breakfast was, I decided to order in most nights, rather than eat in the hotel restaurant, so buying what appeared to be cheap breakfast ingredients may cost the hotel when it comes to guests choosing where to eat for dinner. The hotel’s location is good if you’re going to a local event but it’s a bit of a trek if you want to go out in the city centre. In summary, a relatively comfortable hotel but it’s a shame everyone who works there seem so unhappy; I think that rubs off on the guests too. Will I be staying again? Not if I can help it.

“Ok but wouldn’t return”

This property was ok - just ok. The staff all seem very unhappy in their roles generally - only smile I saw was one day at breakfast from the lovely gentleman seating us. Breakfast was a let down - the food was cold / had a skin on / few vegetarian options. Just not great. Day one I only had toast… more

This property was ok - just ok. The staff all seem very unhappy in their roles generally - only smile I saw was one day at breakfast from the lovely gentleman seating us. Breakfast was a let down - the food was cold / had a skin on / few vegetarian options. Just not great. Day one I only had toast, day 2 I didn’t bother. The rooms although similar to the photos aren’t to the high standard the photos make you think they are. Lovely large bathroom but the shower tray was too shallow so leaked all over the floor. Disappointing stay.
