Room was good but so hot that you could not sleep. Sadly because it is so close to bars the hotel has turned into fights in the hallways and rooms late at night and after parties in rooms that woke us up both nights. We have stayed many times at this hotel and sadly this will be the last

The staff were amazing and expressed great empathy, as I had to check out early due to an unexpected loss in our family. The restaurant Team was also delightful. Thank you to the Varscona Team for making my time away from home feel less lonely! ☺️🙏

First star for staffs- friendly and accommodating and overall great. Second star for property- clean, smells good despite the construction at the front. Third star for room- clean and comfy. Minus 2 star- for how uncomfortably hot the room is even when windows are open the whole time. The thermostat isn’t working so we can’t adjust how it feels in our room. We would wake up in the middle of the night sweating! It was so hot that even after shower, you’d be sweating getting dressed. I’m not even exaggerating. I would like to come back here because of how accessible it is to everything, but not sure if they’re hot all year round.
