Liked: Cleanliness
The location was nice. However, our Expedia reservation stated that the check in time was 2:00 pm. We were taken to the stool, which was not ready. It was a rainy and cold day, and we waited in a hotel library. It took 1 hour and 40 minutes to get our room ready. We asked for a swarm drink, perhaps, as a courtesy for the inconvenience and were given hot chocolate. There was no apology, the receptionist left and on top of that, they charged us for our “courtesy “ drink! It was lack of concern and lack of customer service that was very disappointing.

Thomas

Disliked: Staff & service
My reservation details (name, phone number, dates of stay, amount due, etc.) were leaked before my stay and were used by scammers to send genuine-looking booking and payment messages using accurate information related to this hotel. The hotel acknowledged this serious security incident, yet I have received no further response and no attempt at resolution. This lack of action is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about the hotel’s data protection practices. I would advise future guests to be cautious and consider whether this is the right accommodation for them.

My booking said I had the room for 4 adults and I was charged additional guest fee but the room and one king bed and one twin. Not sure how this was a 4 adult room. Expedia booking was misleading and I paid extra money for nothing! Hoping that Expedia will address the issue by providing a refund
