Great breakfast with unique offerings
I had a pleasant stay where the breakfast really stood out. The made-to-order pancakes were delicious, and the variety in options provided a great start to my day. The saltwater pool was also a nice feature, allowing me to unwind after a long day. However, the noise from nearby bars made it tough to get a good night's sleep.

missingWrote a review on 05 Julspacious roomfresh breakfastnoisy surroundingsslow check-in
The hotel had a bright lobby that welcomed me right away. The breakfast offered fresh options, especially the pancakes, which were a delightful treat. I appreciated the availability of complimentary coffee and tea throughout my stay, helping me stay energized. The room was spacious and had a nice kitchenette setup, but there were a few issues. I dealt with inconsistent housekeeping. cleaning staff missed a couple of requests for towels. The noise from the nearby bar interrupted my sleep on the first night, making it tough to rest well. Check-in took longer than expected, which added to my frustration. Overall, I think there’s a great vibe here with friendly staff, but improvements are needed in managing noise levels and housekeeping consistency.

Dog-friendly environment, Saltwater pool, On-site fitness facilities
Noise disturbances from Wellman's Pub really got annoying on both nights!!! Check-in process is painfully slow, making it an irritating start to the stay!!! Housekeeping needs consistency to prevent guests from checking in to less-than-clean rooms!!!

The 24/7 complimentary coffee and tea setup kept me energized throughout my stay, especially after those unexpected late-night disturbances. Enjoyed the saltwater pool, which provided a nice getaway from the chaos, making it a refreshing escape despite the noise outside.
The noise from Wellman's Pub was a major downside. late-night revelries often interrupted my sleep, particularly during my second night. Room cleaning standards left much to be desired since housekeeping seemed sporadic—had to request clean towels multiple times during my four-night stay. Additionally, received the wrong type of room despite clear communication beforehand, creating an unnecessary hassle right from the start.

I stayed in the Standard King room, and the bed was super comfy. The kitchenette was handy for quick meals, but the room cleaning was a bit lacking, with some greasy handprints on the windows. No chairs in the kitchenette area either, which was a bummer. It had a nice vibe, but those cleanliness issues were distracting.
