It has gone down hill in a year! They put me on the highest floor which I requested but failed to mention they had some massive water damage and the carpets were wet and blowing machines were noisy. I stayed two nights with no one ever turning down bed or attempting to take away trash.

Bring your own food.

Restaurant was severely overpriced. If prices were reasonable, there probably would have been more than three tables occupied at the time I dined there. And why no room service?? It’s one of the things myself and other travelers look for when choosing accommodations.

Beautiful hotel with friendly staff! The Derby-themed rooms are incredible and the walls are like works of art. I could not have enjoyed my stay more, with impeccable cleanliness, a comfortable bed and eco-friendly, quality amenities.
