Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean, comfy, and cool, but there was a slight damp smell and visible mildew which made me a little uneasy. The service was professional and excellent, with the staff going out of their way to accommodate me. The location was convenient for my needs, close to where I wanted to go, but the cost was a bit high. The dining experience was good, although it would have been even better with a waffle maker. Overall, the hotel offered a decent value for the money.
Upon entering, the cool and clean room seemed promising; however, the presence of visible mildew/mold and an unpleasant odor made the stay slightly uncomfortable, especially in the hot weather when the A/C was essential. The room's lack of a microwave despite having a fridge was also a downside. The price felt a bit steep for the overall experience.
The hotel had some cleanliness issues and needed upgrading, but it was well-equipped with usual toiletries. There was a damp and unpleasant odor in the room. The service was helpful and professional during check-in but lacked clarity on the air conditioner operation. The location was convenient with nearby dining options. The dining experience was good but missing a waffle maker. The hotel provided some outstanding dining choices. The facilities needed upgrading.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. On the positive side, the staff was really nice and even went out of their way to secure me an extra night. However, I wasn't too thrilled with the condition of the rooms - they were a little too pricey given the cleanliness issues I encountered.
