Not great‼️
Pros:

The breakfast and serving staff was exceptional!

Cons:

First room was freezing and there was no heat to counteract overuse of air conditioning. Second room was very far away from the elevators and we are two ok physically challenged older women!

Not a good place to sleep
Pros:

The bed was so hard it felt like sleeping on a board and I like firm beds. It was so bad I didn’t get any sleep at all. I rent a room to sleep, the breakfast is supposed to be the cherry on top. In this case the breakfast was the only good part of this stay.

Cons:

See above,

Quality experience, would stay again.
Pros:

Clean, comfortable, free parking, close to train station and walkable to downtown. Area around the hotel a little deserted at night, but hotel itself feels safe. Room above average in comfort.

Cons:

Nothing, hotel met expectations in every way.

It was mostly enjoyable.
Pros:

The room was fine and the breakfast was adequate.

Cons:

The room was very cold. Eventually, I was able to warm it up.

I heard others at breakfast complaining about this, also.

Excellent Hotel to stay at, staff is superb, when visiting again I will definitely stay here....
Pros:

Great Hotel, actually better than I had expected. I would definitely go back to this Hotel for future visits. The staff are great, the hotel is great value for the money I would say. I mean it would be nice if it was a bit cheaper on price per night, however, the staff and location for the purpose of our trip made it worthwhile. In particular, the Morning Breakfast is a great feature, I loved it, nicely laid out, clean, and the Lady working on the weekend was absolutely amazing, she was wonderful. I never got her name, but she was super friendly and treated everyone top notch!
