Positive Reviews
positive:
Very pleasant staff.
Always friendly and helpful; starting with the front-desk, staff members here are dedicated to ensuring guests' satisfaction. This is also instanced at breakfast. Not only is breakfast quite impressive, but staff jump through hoops to ensure that items are replaced and that later arrivals have the same choices as early birds.
positive:
Rooms are impressive.
The subject of some refurbishment; rooms are attractively decorated, welcoming and very clean.
positive:
Close to amenities and a quiet location.
There are plenty of places to eat in the locality. The hotel is quietly located off the highway, so many rooms don't suffer unduly as the result of traffic noise. There's a popular baseball field nearby, but no real noise problem from this.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Hidden signs.
The hotel is very difficult to find and is identifiable only via a very, very small sign from the Highway. Not the best start.
negative:
Room problems.
The telephone doesn't function, so no contact with front-desk. Blackouts are ineffective, the tub drains very slowly (*drainage problem) and the bed is uncomfortable. Rooms are generally clean and so is linen, etc. The laundry process could be improved, though; it doesn't seem to be a very thorough process.
negative:
Dampened enthusiasm.
Non-flushing toilets add to existing concerns about the plumbing generally. Maybe this is the reason why the room is decidedly damp. Nothing is disastrous here but these minor faults add up and you begin to wonder about the value for money. It's tempting to cast an eye in the direction of the much cheaper Hotel 6, just across the parking lot.
