Disaster

This was one of our worst experience ever. Due to bad circumstances we had been without cash in a kind of emergency and asked for help. There was 0,0 empathy or willigness to support us. The recepation during our stay gave us the impression we should not bother them. The room was smelling like someone run a coffeeshop the night before. They had realised this because the room was ice cold when we came in as all windows were open. Felt like they almost pulled away plates while you were eating breakfast at 10 AM. Otherall the whole experience was the worst I ever had. The building itself was kind of depressing, rooms painted in dark colour so I can relate to the fact that staff gets depressed when working there every day. Apart from the location I would not recommend this Hotel at and would rather sleep on the street the next time before returning there.

My husband and I spent two night here in January. The hotel was very clean, and everything was comfortable. The staff was friendly however we didn’t interact much with them as it is a busy hotel and lobby. The breakfast was very good but get there early it’s busy! The area at first seemed empty but we realized very quickly we were able to walk to anywhere we wanted to go but in all honesty ended up taking Uber for a reasonable rate. Parking is across the street in a very large open lot so ample space, I was worried about leaving the car overnight initially but it was safe and my concern was unwarranted.
