This hotel has a consistent problem training the cleaning staff to provide the right supplies to each room. The problem continued over the 3 days we stayed here. No soap, no facial tissues, plugged sink and toilet, dark hallways (can't see the door), tiny bath towels, no "do not disturb" door signs (and then didn't respect them when we finally got one), no drinking water, etc. I don't usually review hotels and ignore small issues, but this place does not deserve the rating it currently has.

Although the property is about a 20 minute walk from town, it’s quiet, spacious and nicely laid out with free parking and a great breakfast. I’d recommend it as a good choice if tue location works.

Dark corridors to walk to room

The Nox was nice but the reason I deducted stars and could go lower is because I was staying by myself and the corridors are operated by sensor lighting. I found this very creepy especially as a solo female. I never saw this before I foubd it very off putting and something I never want to see again in any hotel. Please do more to make people feel safe & comfortable
