“I wanted peace & quiet and a restful night...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Let me first start off by saying that my husband and I don't get away often but when we do we like nice places to stay. We were staying close to home, and celebrating something very special to us. We chose this hotel because we thought it would be what we are used to splurging ourselves with, unfortunately it fell short of any expectations that we had. Let me explain.
*If you are looking for peace & quiet this is the wrong Hotel for you. We could hear nearly every vehicle that drove by on Colonial Drive (which is a very busy street). Yes after a while we were able to drown out the traffic until we heard a really loud vehicle, then we were concentrating on traffic again rather than enjoying each other's company.
Also, there was a card in our room that stated how wonderful the bed was and for us to get ready for a wonderful nights' sleep... still waiting! No matter how I adjusted my side of the bed nothing happened, it still sagged in the middle. My husband's side had hard and soft, both of which felt the same...hard. The sheets did not fit the bed and we were constantly pulling them up so that we were not lying on the bare mattress. The duvet cover was nice looking but it was too heavy and there were no other blankets to use. I am sure in the colder months it is wonderful but this is mid-June.
* We are non smokers, we asked for a non-smoking room and that is what we were told we had booked at the front desk when we arrived. When we opened the front door we came to the conclusion that it is a "non-smoking room" if the occupants at the time do not smoke. The room wreaked of cigarettes. Luckily for them and us, there was an air purifier that we could use that allowed us to clean the air with Ionization and Ozone (not mentioning any brand names because I know that there are better systems). ... but it did do the job. I am not sure how others feel, but I mean NO SMOKING IN MY ROOM BEFORE, DURING AND HOPEFULLY AFTER when I reserve a non-smoking room.
* They have a wonderful restaurant in the hotel but breakfast does not come with the room, not even at the price of $195/night so don't think you will be waddling to your activities after a great beginnings breakfast!
But hey, it's a pretty hotel so if that's what turns you on and nothing else matters you will love it!

Room Tip: Front desk service was all we came in contact with

“Cannot believe this is the same hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I have stayed here on many occasions for business and pleasure and I can only assume that when things go well the staff are awesome. But we all know the true test is how you deal with things when they go wrong. 1) Lisa kept me on the phone for 45 minutes on Saturday I didn't mind as she was making my reservation or so I thought. She was extremely busy and I was extremely patient. 2) I came in today after 5 hours ride to find there was no reservation. Luckily the young lady on the desk found me a room for which I will be eternally grateful. She was lovely and I didnt get her name. However no luck for tomorrow or Wednesday. I went down the road and checked in to another hotel for the rest of the week. When I informed Kim that I was a lone traveller and could not rely on there being a cancellation for tomorrow so had to book into another hotel for the rest of the week, she was very snooty and incredibly sullen. Just what I needed at this stressful time when I was extremely close to tears. As I say when things go well they are tremendous when things go bad they are defensive and less than useful. Will never stay here again which is a terrible shame. The old staff were much better.

“Incredible service, food and people at this location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2011

Booked here by long time client, stayed 26-29 January in room 303 and it's been a pleasure. Used conference services, catered luncheon and room service for evening meals and without exception the service is prompt, smiling and friendly, food is excellent by any hotel standard and hotel premises are immaculate at all times with even the baseboards being cleaned daily, incredible! Would like to call attention to one individual in particular, though all have been exemplary. "Shaunsey," a young lady who has been here the last three times I've stayed while serving clients in the area, has gone above and beyond to make sure all our needs were attended and that our conference and luncheon experience were on time, well-presented, and professional. Refreshing to see a young person so dedicated to her job. Chefs are excellent, personable and fun, all desk and restaurant personnel far above average. Rooms are quiet, clean, the "spotless" kind, and overall a great experience, right near the airport. No complaints, only praise.

“overpriced hard beds”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2010

We have stayed here before with no problems. Our 3 night stay over the holidays was not good. The beds were too hard-probably not updated for a while. The breakfast was mediocre and the rates are too high for the area.

“EXCELLENT PLACE for Family or Business”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2010

I have stayed here several times over the last two years. the hotel rooms are always clean. The staff are great and very accomodating. 4 star restaurant always delivers great food.

I've had to stay at other hotels in the area and have not found them as good.

I recently had my wife and grandkids come down during a recent stay. they had loads of fun during the dayvisiting sites and exploring the area. All in all, a great pick.
