Travelled with partner
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
This was a great location, walkable (if you are up to 1 mile to 1.5 mile walks each way) to food. It felt very safe and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The internet was awesome and the location offered a pool, hot tub and restaurant on site. Although we did not use the pool, hot tub or restaurant, it was obvious they were well used by other guests. The room had all the requests we asked for (downstairs due to lack of an elevator and a bathtub). The bed was very comfortable too! Cons: No elevator for upstairs rooms, rather noisy due to how large the facility is, and the shower head was rather low for my 6 foot tall husband. Overall, great stay.

For a one night stay not worth $300, guests were arguing outside my room, guest above me were jumping on floor, guest next to me had tv on all night and guests on other side were pounding on wall. Safety was a concern and I got no sleep. Hotel management was made aware. Worst stay at a hotel.’

Okay, aber abgelegen
Alles soweit nett und sauber. Der Rezeptionsbereich wirkt aber kalt und unfreundlich. Hauptproblem ist die deutlich zu große Entfernung zur Innenstadt. Dafür ist es deutlich zu teuer.
