Upon arriving at the hotel, I found the rooms to be disappointing as they were not ready for check-in at the scheduled time of 4 p.m. The dilapidated state of the rooms, with signs of mold on the curtains and in the bathroom, was a concern. However, the staff's exceptional friendliness and helpfulness made up for the room issues.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious enough for my family of 5, but unfortunately, they were filthy and directly beneath a very noisy air conditioning unit. Despite my daily requests for servicing, the room was never cleaned. However, the ample space allowed the baby to play comfortably.

The location was great for families with children of all ages and adults, but it was not near any attractions. Additionally, it was not very handicap friendly as it could be colder than expected.

Dining

The dining options were good, varied, and hot, but not extremely gluten-free friendly, which could be a downside for some. Overall, the dining experience was decent.

The hotel had commercial services available, and the shops were convenient. However, serious health code violations were a major concern.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the room was cozy with a fire place, I found it a bit dirty with cobwebs and even an old smelly shirt in the sofa. The service was friendly and accommodating, but there were some issues with leaving doors open in cold weather. The location was convenient, close to the clinic but with some cleanliness concerns. The dining experience was better than usual, offering a variety of grab-and-go foods. Overall, a stay with both positives and negatives.
