From good to great!

The room was lovely, spacious and quiet. Hotel location was a nice change from downtown. But the restaurant was exceptionally great! I didn't have high expectations for dinner at a hotel restaurant but both our pan-fried haddock and salmon were absolutely delicious, plentiful and beautifully prepared. Breakfast in the morning, though somewhat similar to typical hotel breakfasts, was elevated with superior choices and expert preparation, making it much better than the norm. Finally, the coffee machine in the lobby was wonderful. (Did I just write that?) I can't believe that I could have my morning cortado from a machine and it tasted great. Bravo!

Sad service

Bed was not great for sleeping. Front desk staff was not friand welcoming. Check in had not explanation of anything and not even mention of the availability of coffee 25 hours. Just a refular hotel with sad staff and service.

Hotel was a basic overnighter that, while dated, was clean and in good condition. The primary issue is parking. The hotel was full and parking options were a problem.

No bad stay

Kinda was a spur of the moment stay. Wed stayed one night and came back for a second. Rooms are really comfortable and the breakfast is good. The elevators needed some repair tho and the parking lot is a bit crazy :)

Could be better!

There was a lot of noise in the hall on Friday evening. Kids running back and forth. Also a baby screaming the same evening in the room next door! Finally, the room was not made up on Sat when we returned late afternoon, even though we left the sign off the door which meant you wanted the room made up! We called and got some fresh towels but had to chase down housekeeping for extra tp.! Over all the staff were nice and accommodating but they are lacking overall. Perhaps they are short staffed?
