Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. Although the rooms were comfortable with nice views from a window to the outside, there were some issues like finding an empty toilet paper roll and an uncleaned bathroom. The outdoor access was convenient but could have been better maintained. The service was lackluster, with staff seeming uninterested in providing information. The location was ideal for corporate visits but lacked vibrancy. Dining options were standard, with healthy choices and rates comparable to others. Overall, my stay was average with a few standout features and some disappointments.
The hotel is conveniently located close to everything we needed for the weekend, including Oriellys restaurant in the building. The rooms were comfortable and had everything we needed, but they were on a lower level with a view of the main Interstate highway. The service from the reception desk to the housekeeping staff seemed uninterested in providing much information about the services. Dining offered similar rates and included home-made jams. Overall, a mixed experience with some conveniences and minor drawbacks.
The hotel excels in offering comfortable rooms with convenient outdoor access and walk-in showers. However, the service was lacking as staff seemed uninterested in providing information. The onsite Irish pub adds a unique touch to the location, but the value for money could be improved.
