Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location was excellent for our trip, being so close to both our family and the event venue. The service was fantastic, with attentive and patient staff. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, with below-average food quality. The rooms were comfortable, though not luxurious, and the facilities were adequate for our needs.
The hotel's rooms were very clean, with a few maintenance issues that weren't deal-breakers. The staff at the front desk was good, friendly, and informative. The location was great, surrounded by plenty of restaurants and convenient for both family stays and events. The dining experience had some drawbacks like sausages tasting off and overcooked bacon, but offered a nice free breakfast buffet.
My stay had its ups and downs. The hotel's location was the standout feature, being excellent in proximity to the freeway and convenient for both family visits and event attendance. However, the room had a few maintenance issues and an unpleasant smell like urine or a dirty diaper. The service was a bit hit or miss with rushed interactions at check-in, but the housekeeping staff was attentive. The dining experience fell short with below-average buffet options, including overcooked bacon and soggy potatoes. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel offered great value for money.
