Parking was full so despite being disabled we had to unload at the door and park offsite at extra cost. Pet rooms weren’t available but we were given a room on the top floor. We had a small balcony so were able to leave that open to keep room cool. We had a fridge, good beds and pillows.

The location of the property was really great - we could walk to everything we wanted to see. Unfortunately we had to park a few blocks away from the hotel but that was really the only downside. The room was very spacious and the front desk staff was very nice and helpful.

Great hotel. Right near so many restaurants, stores, markets, and bowling. The hotel’s breakfast buffet was absolutely amazing. My husband is a vegetarian and they had fruit, vegetables, tons of varieties of granola and breads. It was the perfect start to our day!

Enkelt men trevligt hotell med god frukost

Vi fick ett fräscht och fint rum som visserligen saknade all form av utsikt, men för oss gjorde det ingenting. Underbart med air condition eftersom det var 30 grader varmt ute! Väldigt bra frukost, vällagad och god, med snabb, professionell och trevlig personal. En av de bättre hotellfrukostar jag ätit faktiskt! Inget hotell för den som vill ha mysigt häng i en lyxig lobby, men perfekt att ha som bas för utflykter. Vi fick precis det vi behövde, en skön säng i ett fräscht rum och en lyxig frukost med vänlig och hjälpsam personal!

Liked: Cleanliness
Friendly staff, good location however quite a lot of street noice when we get a room toward Nygaten. Room was quite small and it was difficult to get around the bed to the one side (30cm) . But the reason for relatively poor rating was that the bathroom was extremely small. It was not possible for s person of normal height to sit straight at the toilet. Very good breakfast though

Bra hotell, men noe manglende info rundt renhold

Veldig bra hotellrom og frokost. Det som trekker ned på vårt 2 overnattingsopphold, er at det ikke ble gjort rent etter første dag. Vi ble ikke gjort oppmerksom på regler rundt dette før vi oppdaget manglende renhold sent på kvelden på dag 2 etter en lang dag på musikkfestival. Vi fikk heldigvis rene håndklær når vi ba om det.
