Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a convenient location close to downtown and the waterfront, making it ideal for exploring nearby attractions. The dining experience was underwhelming, with simple offerings in a paper bag. The rooms needed improvement due to overlooking a parking lot and cleanliness issues.
Upon arrival, the hotel felt freezing cold, but turning on the old-fashioned heater quickly warmed up the room. The bright room was conveniently located near the ice and vending machines, bar/restaurant, and the exit door. The staff was lovely, offering a reduction in the rate and providing a portable cot for our stay. The non-stop slamming and noise throughout the night disrupted our sleep, making it challenging to rest.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were a good size and very clean, but the lack of air conditioning made it uncomfortable during the hot weather. The service was generally accommodating, especially considering my wife's wheelchair needs, but they were very strict on certain issues. The location was convenient with nearby dining options, although it was noisy at times. The dining was standard with some nice options but nothing exceptional.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms had a strong smell, but the darkening drapes helped alleviate the issue. Unfortunately, the room size was unexpectedly tiny, and we missed out on housekeeping service for a day. The service was a mixed bag with some staff being friendly and accommodating while others seemed annoyed. The location was convenient, especially for exploring downtown and the waterfront, but not very inviting. The dining experience was disappointing with poor food selection and high prices. However, the facilities were decent overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not so good experiences. The location was great, near the city and beach, but quite far from other attractions. The rooms, though a bit small with a king-size bed, were cozy once I figured out how to get the heaters working. The service was hit and miss; while the head of housekeeping was friendly and efficient, the check-in process was a hassle as they claimed not to have my reservation despite showing them the confirmation email.
My stay was quite pleasant overall. The room around us was immaculate, with all amenities close by, although it wasn't as spacious as advertised. The service I received was very quick and pleasant, and the staff were always courteous and accommodating. The location was convenient for accessing malls and nearby areas, although being close to a major highway was a downside. The dining experience, although in a small quaint room, could have been improved with extended hours and more options. The hotel facilities were adequate, but there were minor inconveniences regarding check-out times and pool availability.
