Our room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke when we checked in. We were offered another room, but it had the same smell. Staff sprayed deodorizing spray, but it didn’t help. The room was visibly dirty — splatters on the walls, lamps, bed skirts, and chairs. Overall, it felt extremely unclean and uncomfortable. Would not stay here again.

I would have scored higher but the hot tub jets are nearly nonexistent. All the other guests were commenting on it while there as well. Minor in the big picture but the hotel as a whole is very nice. The breakfast is fantastic, rooms are very nice. Hotel is clean and rooms were very clean. We really enjoyed the stay. We will come again.

We had a great experience during our recent stay. The location was perfect – easy to find, very walkable, and close to everything we needed. We felt completely safe walking around the area, even at night. The hotel itself was clean and well-kept. Our room was spotless and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. There were plenty of dining options nearby, which made meals super convenient. Whether we wanted a quick bite or a sit-down dinner, there was something for everyone just steps away. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable stay. Would definitely come back!
