Property was wonderful, clean and tidy. Good breakfast selection, nice quiet rooms. Their laundry room was small but efficient, they do offer laundry service as well! Only thing I didn’t appreciate was the bachelorette party or whatever was happening and the vomit stains outside our room the next morning. Nothing against the hotel at all, they did attempt to clean up the vomit stains.

The front desk hotel staff we encountered were not very hospitable. No smile from Liam, he really hated his job. No liquid soap in the shower. Remote control batteries were dead. Spider in the room. Rude housemaid whom knocked on our door 1 hour before checkout to ask us when we were leaving; I've never experienced that before. The female who helped us at the in-hotel restaurant was pleasant. But the young male whom delivered the food, again very unpleasant no smile, hated his job. Great view looking out our room window, but the bird sh*t on it ruined it all. We will never be staying at this hotel again.

Not great

Check in was good, very fast. Everything beyond check in was not good. Dirty room, shower and kitchenette area had stains and mini fridge had spilled liquid stains. Room service took over an hour and a half so i decided to walk to the restaurant and pick it up. Employee at restaurant said he brought it to a different room. He retrieved it and gave it to me, said it was still good to eat as not much time passed. One hour after eating i got pretty sick and spent next two hours in bathroom. Ended up leaving the hotel at 11pm in search of a different place.

The hotel itself was clean and well kept, as were the rooms. The staff’s lack of hospitality made it less enjoyable. I arrived and asked to check in - with no greeting, the front desk worker just said “ID and card used online. Room (number) floor 4.” Morning of checkout, I tried to meet my friend who walked into the breakfast. When I tried to go, the lady said “you need a meal ticket,” but didn’t say where to go to get it, nor was
