Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Our plane was delayed so we landed at 2:30 am. The shuttle driver greeted us cheerily and the folks at reception were courteous and helpful. Five stars except for construction next door which didn’t bother us but might bother some.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Although I overall enjoyed my stay, the Hotel lobby is VERY small and cramped. If there are 4 people (and luggage) checking in/out, you can hardly get around or in the door. The seating/waiting area is the same. The elevator & hallways are also small, narrow and cramped, but to be expected I suppose, in a hotel of this age. Staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. Parking is not great; expect to pay per hour for parking in front of the hotel (and the city DOES have parking ticketers!) up until 5pm each day. And the conditions (winter) are very icy and rough, so hard to wheel any luggage.

Although the listing says there is hotel parking, there is not. There is street parking (metered during business hours) along with the report from check-in that there have been break-ins. So leaving a fully laden Jeep with a motorcycle and belongings on an open trailer was an unpleasant prospect. We initially parked in front of a bar but later on a 1-am stroll to check on the vehicle, my husband found the police station. They very kindly allowed him to park in front of the station until morning.
I thought for $168 it would be more luxurious, convenient, and safe, but it was less of these and more tired than many $100 or cheaper hotels we’ve stayed at on this trip. This place is overpriced for what it is.
This was a great property for our short stay but it’s not a quiet hotel. We could easily hear the people above us and beside us during the night. The building sounds a little old and creaky. Other than that the staff were great and the amenities of the hotel were nice. Loved the restaurant as well and the shuttle service from the airport.
