Tired Hotel making it overpriced for what you get

Staff were fantastic, I haven’t stayed here for a few years and found this hotel is getting very tired. Worn carpets in rooms and not looking well vacuumed Breakfast wasn’t great, stale bread and cold cuts left out long enough to change colour Bonus though Bed was comfortable.

Centrally located so walkable to many dining options and central city. Modern building but showing signs of wear. The fridge in our room did not work. The staff offered to move us to another room, but as we were only staying 1 night, we decided against it.

It’s a great quiet place to stay. Rooms are very comfortable. Bathroom is a little tight but shower pressure makes up for it. Breakfast was really good. Had to run the dryer twice to dry my load of clothes so that was a time waster

Really enjoyed the stay at the hotel. Very clean and quiet. Breakfast was very good. Fortunately there was free parking behind the hotel…but spaces are limited.

Jun 16, 2025

This hotel was very basic and relatively comfortable but I cannot believe how much I paid for it. It was worth about half the cost. I was only there overnight, so it suited my needs. However, when I asked the desk clerk about tours in the area and then again about the train schedule, she unhelpfully referred me to the internet. Don't expect much.

Nice hotel. Appears to cater to business travelers. Rooms nice facing the river. Car valet service very good. Carpet in room was wavy needs to be replaced.

The hotel itself was fine and pretty much as described. We were a family of four and the hotel would definitely benefit from added extras like a kids play room or pool. I probably would stay here considering the price.

Parking

Website states no reserved parking (first come first served basis) and limited parking. When we arrived there was approximately 13 free parking sapces coned off down the side of the building. When I enquired about those spaces i was told by the valet that they had been reseved for a group. Ehat happened to first come first served. This then forced us to find alternative parking and in the end not knowing the area we used the valet service.
