Spacious King Suite

“I was kinda surprised by the size of the King Suite with Mountain View and Jetted Tub that I booked.

It was well-stocked with extra towels, blankets, and essentials like a mini fridge and coffee maker, made my stay super comfortable.” view full review

5.8/10

Our recent stay was quite a mix. We loved the perfect location that allowed us to easily access attractions, but the room cleanliness left much to be desired. The staff was friendly and attentive, but our experience was marred by significant issues in the room we were assigned. Overall, the price was reasonable considering the location, but we expected more from the accommodations.

Rooms

5.0

The room we initially received was dirty, with cigarette ashes and stains, which was very disappointing. After moving to a second room, we encountered issues with basic amenities like towels being missing.

Service

5.0

The service experience was mixed. While the staff was friendly, they seemed overwhelmed and not very effective in resolving our issues, which was frustrating.

Location

10.0

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic, right in the center, making it easy to walk to various attractions and restaurants.

Dining

5.0

The breakfast options were limited, offering mostly pastries and cereals, which was underwhelming for a morning meal.

Facilities
