Mixed feelings about this stay

central locationpaved area viewpoor service
The location was acceptable, being right in the centre of things.
The room I booked did NOT have the city view I expected. Instead, it faced a paved area between buildings. I also found the staff to be SLACK and the service poor.

The staff members are quite professional. Their friendly attitude. The valet parking service provides GREAT convenience, especially given the location. Breakfast in the restaurant was quite good, I found the team attentive. The cocktails at the bar were expertly made.
The room decor felt a bit less modern compared to the public areas, though still quite neat.

The breakfast included local produce, it was tasty. I liked the valet parking option, it made things easier. I thought the staff was great, they parked my car promptly. The location worked well, it offered prime access.
The room was very warm. I also noticed some tired decor. I thought I requested twin beds, but did not receive them. I was not happy to see the shower curtain.

A Nice Stay

The staff were cute. I really appreciated the birthday cards in my room. It added a personal touch. The restaurant served a perfect dinner. A good bottle of wine complemented the meal, and I had a dessert with a happy birthday message.
My bedroom was somewhat dated. The bathroom was tired. I noticed peeling paint.

Acceptable Stay, but Issues Noted

The location was quite convenient.
The room I received, a "Classic Room", showed signs of wear. Peeling paint in the bathroom detracted from the experience. I encountered some issues regarding the clarity of parking instructions. Contradictory information from the staff led to UNNECESSARY stress.
