The front staff were so kind and helpful. My child had to take medicine that needed to be refrigerated and they kept it safe for us. They were so kind. We had a wonderful stay.

Could have been perfect!

Nice hotel. Clean and modern. I like it. Issues though. My first room assignment smelled of mold. I have asthma, so this is a no-go. Reception was good about moving me, but I arrived early, so there were options. Why not ozone the room, and, better still, find out the source of the damp and fix it! Your new interiors will last a lot longer if you do. Shower is confusing. Took me 10 frustrating minutes to figure out how to use it without either scalding or freezing myself. I have been to hotels all over the world. This was the most confusing shower controller, ever. Also, the floors are slippery when wet in the bathroom. It says so on the sign. What? They are going to get wet, so provide a better, non-slip bathmat. The room temperature regulator is also confusing. Spent a cold night due to this and there were no extra blankets. With a few simple adjustments, this would be a perfect hotel.

Bathroom had stains on the toilet seat, shower mat in the bathroom was not in any better condition, some of the paneling in the bathroom was broken revealing the plywood, and the faucet looked like it may have had rust forming on it. Location was phenomenal though but I've stayed in better well kept hotel rooms in this city, with more space larger bed a view for cheaper.

Verified traveller

The hotel had a comfortable bed, friendly staff, and a generally clean and pleasant atmosphere. However, my stay was significantly impacted by a major issue with the windows. The room was extremely cold, and I could feel drafts of wind coming in, which is unacceptable for a reputable hotel. I woke up several times during the night due to the cold. The heating/air conditioner was not functioning, and after reporting the issue and checking that it doesn't work, the receptionist arranged for a portable heater. Unfortunately, it was noisy and ineffective at warming the room. When I expressed my concerns about feeling drafts in what should be a modern hotel, I was told the manager would be informed. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel due to the poor room conditions and lack of adequate heating.
