Guest Ratings & Reviews
I found the hotel to have a convenient location with lively places in Campustown right at my doorstep. The service was excellent with friendly and competent staff. However, the dining options left much to be desired as the breakfast was disappointing. The rooms, while very clean, were unfortunately placed above noisy bars, impacting the overall experience.
I found the hotel to have rooms that were similar with a small kitchen, but not very spacious. The views were mostly of walls and I wished there was a 'do not disturb' sign available. The service was a mix of helpfulness and disappointment, but overall staff were wonderful, polite, and courteous. The location was superb, right in the heart of campus town, which is perfect for parents visiting the school, but the design and seating could be improved. The dining options were limited and not very tasty, although the continental-style breakfast was decent. The facilities were average but could use some enhancements.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms had a strong smell of cigarettes and old socks, but the friendly staff at breakfast made a positive impact. The room itself felt like a studio apartment with a separate lounge area, desk, and small kitchen, providing a cozy feel.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped for an extended stay, but the breakfast service was a bit lacking. The location in Campustown was convenient with various amenities nearby.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, but the design could use some improvement. The breakfast area needs better seating, although the friendly staff made up for it. The absence of a 'do not disturb' sign was inconvenient. I booked online, which was convenient.
