Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was pretty average overall. The rooms were spacious with a king-size bed, but the small wired bathrooms were a bit of a nuisance with the fan always on when the light is on. The location was convenient being close to the hospital, and dinner was enjoyable, though the experience was not ideal as it was small in October. The dining experience had a mix of cold dishes and missing items, but having the room and breakfast package saved the day. The homemade pies and jams were delicious, making the meal enjoyable.
The hotel offers nicely appointed rooms, though the bathrooms are on the smaller side and the fan being on with the light can be annoying. The rooms are spacious, clean, well-appointed, and feature a super comfortable bed. The service is accommodating with a range of facilities available for convenience. The location is ideal for exploring, despite some sketchy areas around. Dining options are enjoyable, but pricing can be slightly expensive. Overall, the hotel provides a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.
