Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is an old hotel that they’re trying to make look new, with many details that need attention. Another very important thing is that the bathroom sink is in the room, which is very uncomfortable if you have company. If you need to leave early, you can’t avoid making noise. The lighting is very poor—I couldn’t even shave properly because I couldn’t see. I think it’s very inappropriate that the bathroom sink is right in front of one of the beds. In summary, I would not stay there again; for just a little more money you can stay at any of the hotels around.

This was my 2nd time staying here in recent weeks. I again had a great interaction with the gentleman who checked me in, my room was clean and comfortable, and I took advantage of their considerable continental breakfast options. I would definitely recommend to any friends or family traveling through the area.

Consistently Exceptional – A Quiet Return, A Warm Welcome This was my second stay at the hotel — first over the summer, and now again for a few days — and once more, the experience exceeded expectations. Rita continues to set the standard for front-desk hospitality. Cheerful, attentive, and always willing to help, she brings a warmth to the stay that never feels forced. Her consistency is truly impressive — a rare quality in service these days. On the later shift, Jatin has taken the baton with grace. Professional, calm, and reliably present when needed, he maintains the same high standard with a steady demeanor and a gentleman’s approach. It’s reassuring to know that whether it’s early or late, the hotel is always in capable hands. Some hotels are remembered for their comfort and dependability. This one earns its place in memory through the quiet excellence of its people — those who carry out their roles not just with skill, but with unmistakable class. — The Quiet Stoic
