"This hotel was a splurge for us. We reserved well in advance and checked in at a reasonable time so we were startled to find our view was the service and trash area. When we asked why we learned that the room above us was free but we had already slightly unpacked. Why would a hotel assign the worst room when there was a better one available? That sours the stay!"

"This property was very clean and modern for the location where this is situated. It’s in a great location and the room size was huge. Our room had two queen beds, which was refreshing compared to the other hotels. We’ve stayed at during our trip with just twin size beds. The bonus was that the SKER restaurant was directly on the ground floor and had good food options for us vegetarians and was discounted because we stayed at the hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel."

The food was delicious, the workers were nice and we stayed in room 9B which apparently is the nicest room there. Definitely a beautiful room plus porch area"
