a grateful guest's experience

efficient staff pancake option shuttle service

the staff at the front desk were very helpful and efficient when i checked in. i found the breakfast choices to be plentiful and of great quality, especially the freshly made pancakes. the hotel provides a free shuttle service to the nec regularly, a valuable perk for attendees. pillows were comfortable and i did not need to use my own.

the bar manager displayed an unqualifiable attitude. i have never been treated that way, even in campings or youth hostels, so for an hotel of this standing, it is unacceptable.

Service

9/10

the breakfast service offered attentive care, including Padma, who made my mornings good. several staff members were really good too ensure every need was met, reflecting a strong commitment to guest satisfaction.

Rooms

8/10

The room provided a comfortable stay and included useful amenities. the rooms were clean, with fresh towels and toiletries. This added an extra touch of convenience to the overall experience, i was very grateful for that.
