Positive Reviews
positive:
A professional business hotel
The hotel caters to business professionals. The attentive staff also provides concierge services for reservations, recommendations, and securing transportation. There is round-the-clock security and plenty of work space in every room.
positive:
Easy to get around
The hotel is easy to locate, as it towers over the nearby area. The views from the rooms give a good layout of the city and surrounding neighbourhood. The hotel is also close to the main roads and within walking distance to several restaurants and shops.
positive:
An affordable choice
The price for the room and service provided is much cheaper than some in the areas. Some room rates also include a breakfast buffet, adding to the overall value.
Negative Reviews
negative:
The one thing you need
As a business professional, probably the most needed amenity and feature is a strong WiFi. Unfortunately, that is lacking here. The signal strength varies wildly and doesn't even get great service on the ground floor. Regardless, the strongest signal won't stay for very long.
negative:
Might not be an option
The breakfast buffet, while advertised as an added feature, just might not be an option. It is an open buffet and when the food is gone, it is not replenished. Doors open at six, so be sure to show up with a hungry belly. Also, the hotel does honour religious sensibilities, and pork sausage and bacon are not served.
negative:
Appearances are deceiving
The outside of the hotel and the lobby area look and feel like a luxury resort. However, the stay is much more basic. The rooms are simple and don't match the luxury atmosphere that appearances give.
