The overall services (restaurant, breakfast) were disappointing in comparison to the last time we stayed. “Sorry, it’s grad week” was the refrain, but why not staff up in anticipation? Our room should have had twin beds, which it didn’t. Then there was little effort to help separate the mattresses, and while everyone was polite, the services were inconsistent and the food sub par for both directions one and breakfast.

A Perfect Couples’ Getaway

We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Indigo, it was the perfect setting for a relaxing couples’ getaway. The boutique feel, stylish decor, and cozy atmosphere made it feel both luxurious and intimate. Our room was spotless, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable, with thoughtful touches that really added to the experience. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. The location was ideal for exploring, but also offered a peaceful retreat when we wanted to unwind. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and are already looking forward to coming back!
