I had a wonderful experience staying at this hotel. The room was immaculately clean and comfortably appointed, making for a pleasant stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient, which really enhanced my stay. The breakfast was a highlight too, offering a lovely selection that made mornings enjoyable. While the location was convenient for getting around, being near various attractions, I did feel that some areas could use slight improvements to match the overall standard of the hotel.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were not only clean but also offered a comfortable atmosphere, making it easy to relax. The staff was incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome throughout my visit. I had a fantastic breakfast each morning with a great variety of options. Plus, the location was perfect for my plans, being close to the Jazz Cat Theater. One downside, though, was that my room wasn’t as spacious as I had hoped, but it didn’t overshadow the overall wonderful experience I had.
I've stayed at this hotel several times throughout the year, and it consistently offers lovely rooms and a great breakfast that starts the day off right. The location is convenient, especially if you're attending events nearby. While I appreciate the efficient check-in and check-out process, I would have loved a bit more variety in the breakfast offerings.
