Reviews and Ratings
The hotel could use a refurb, and the jet function in the room was painful, along with some other minor issues. The cleanliness was acceptable, and the en suite was decent, although improvements are needed.
My stay at this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was convenient with easy access to transportation, but the noise from the main junction was a drawback. The service was exceptional, with the staff being very helpful and friendly. However, the rooms were in need of refurbishment and lacked proper heating until late in the evening. The dining experience offered excellent breakfast choices, but the quality didn't always match expectations.
The hotel is located on a busy road, which can be noisy, but it's close to several restaurants and convenient for our needs. The rooms are in need of updating and were not up to standard with cobwebs and uncomfortable furniture, yet the process of room updates has begun. The service was friendly and welcoming, although there were some issues with taxi arrangements. The dining experience left much to be desired with poorly cooked meals. The location, despite the noise, is suitable for access to nearby attractions.
