Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is way over the other side near the Todd River, with rooms that are a little shabby and a bit noisy due to a group of partying locals at night. However, it is set up for 2 people, and everyone walking with luggage makes noise when dragging it on the pavement.
The hotel was a mixed experience for us. The rooms were good overall, but some issues like noise from flushing and water leakage affected our stay. The service, apart from one staff member, was outstandingly friendly and helpful. The location was very good for relaxation and close to town. The dining was disappointing with limited choices and overpriced options.
The hotel offers nice and presentable rooms that ensure a comfortable stay, although the furniture may seem a bit dated. The service is friendly and informative, with occasional minor hiccups in communication. The location provides a good balance of closeness to town without being directly in the center, offering convenience for various activities. The dining experience, while having its highlights, could use improvements in menu variety and value. Overall, a pleasant stay with great potentials.
The hotel is conveniently located, close to Todd Mall, providing a nice 2-day getaway experience. The rooms are tidy and of a good size, featuring a balcony, though the moving beds can be a bit tricky to handle. The overall service is affected by poor delivery on some occasions, particularly with room access. The central location near the town center offers easy access to downtown, despite some noise issues. The dining experience may not be impressive, with limited choices and value concerns. However, the motel is well-equipped, providing comfort for a short stay.
The hotel has a convenient location, close to town, with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are comfortable and large, but the outside corridor setup felt a bit uncomfortable. The dining options were reasonably priced, but the variety was limited.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, great service, a convenient location close to town, and an average dining experience. The price is reasonable for what you get.
