I was wondering what rating to give because we experienced a service failure. I gave the excellent rating despite that because the front office staff were exceptional. That was seen during the check in where the front desk person was extremely friendly and also helpful in arranging parking. And it was also clear when we brought a noise issue to their notice. Even at 5 Star hotels, despite excellent facilities one often ends up disappointed with the way employees respond to critical incidents. Here, they were exceptionally good, in my experience.

Our second time to stay at the Annex Hotel. The staff was (and always) very friendly and responsive. There is construction closeby but we were warned ahead of time. The door lock wasn’t working at first but they fixed it right away. Only negative comment would be that the room was a little but dusty. Overall a great stay. Will definitely come back again.

Overall stay great. Not thrilled with echecking which required me to scan and in official ID - doesn't seem wise. Otherwise room quirky but nice and clean. Staff very friendly and location great.

I thought the bed, sheets and pillows were all super comfortable and had a great sleep. The room was super quiet and cosy as well. I was also happy with how helpful and friendly the texting was- the first time I've stayed at a hotel that texts as the main source of communication and I thought it was cool and convenient. Our morning coffee and pastries were delicious as well. Overall great stay. The only improvements would be the price! I thought it was a bit high, for the offering.
