Elegant Public Areas
Guests were very impressed by the condition of the hotel's public areas, such as the lobby. From the moment you arrive and survey the surroundings, it should be clear that the hotel's designers have paid attention to different ways to make guests have strong first impressions.
positive:
The Rooms Are Quite Clean
Guests commented that cleanliness was a high point at this property. You're likely to find that the rooms look spotless, and stay that way whether you're at the hotel for just a night or significantly longer.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Lack of Style in the Rooms
Although guests liked how the public areas look, they didn't have the same rave reviews to give room style. Specifically, they said although the rooms weren't ugly, they weren't attractive enough to make them stand out from any other hotel room you might find in other cities or parts of the countries.
negative:
Well-Worn Accommodations
Frequently, guests mentioned that the rooms looked very tired. However, a renovation process is ongoing, so you may want to see if it's possible to get one of the units that has already been updated.
negative:
An Overpriced Choice
Guests sometimes griped that their rooms ended up costing more than they would have liked, especially because things like parking and breakfast cost extra. Even when guests weren't unsatisfied with their stays overall, many still thought the prices were too high.
