I’m a tea person and drink tea day and night, so when I found out there is no tea kettle I panicked, fortunately when I went to front desk the staff promptly said they could provide one and delivered to my room within minutes. The service and the tea kettle made the staying an enjoyable experience.

Will be the last time

This is my second time staying with then and believe this will be my last this this the second time I stay where there was an issue with the plumbing. I notify the front desk they send someone but they didn’t fix the issue they just show us how to work around the issue. The plumbing is not the best and they need to do something about. Also they charge my credit card a holding incident fee which I was made aware but when I check out they charge credit card a another fee which I wasn’t aware why are they charging several fee when you already paid for the hotel.

Needs some help

I like the hotel, room/bed/pillows were nice. But the heat and phone did not work at all. I notified front desk, who sent engineer, but nothing was fixed, for 3 days. Luckily there was a small space heater and light blanket provided or it would have been way too cold. I think it’s dangerous not to have a working phone in the room. Cafe/food was nice.
