Amyrl, Mar 2025
Pros (+) The staff was very friendly and were open to trying to support any request we had if they were able. While this isn't a full service hotel, the staff is very friendly and empowered to help guests.
Cons (-) House cleaning wasn't complete. They only made one of our beds and hung up the floor mat in the bathroom, they didn't provide or refresh new towels or tidy.

Andrea, Feb 2025
Pros (+) Room was dirty upon check-in. No sheets on the bed, shower and bathroom still had previous occupant towels on the floor and detritus throughout the room. Room hadn’t been cleaned at all. Yet they gave me a key to check-in. Check-in time was 4pm. I arrived at 4pm. Not an early check-in at all. No room service although dinner from the restaurant on the first floor is advertised as able to be deliver...
Cons (-) Uncleaned Room Unapologetic Staff No restaurant service as advertised Spa receptionist had no knowledge of products on display as promotion in the spa. This is basically an unprofessionally run hotel. Although the bones of the building are lovely.
