Disappointing and cold experience. When we arrived to our room, we found that the room’s main heater was broken, leaving the space extremely cold with temperatures dropping below 50°F outside. When I informed the staff, they said the hotel was fully booked and couldn’t move us to another room. Their only solution was to provide a very small handheld heater, which wasn’t nearly enough to warm the entire room. Additionally, the TV was broken for part of our stay. Before I left, I asked to speak with a manager to discuss these issues, but no one was available, and I never received a follow-up call. Overall, the stay was frustrating and very uncomfortable, and I hope the hotel addresses these problems for future guests.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
There was a party in the lobby that was extremely loud. It was literally shaking the objects in my room. The party went until 11pm. I called the front desk asking for another room and there was nothing available. I just simply can’t understand having a party like that with complete disregard for the schedule of the guests. I had to leave at 430am the next day and was unable to sleep until after 11pm. I couldn’t imagine being a parent with young children or something and being disregarded like that. I think the hotel I’d poorly designed and the staff I’d thoughtless. Maybe give the party goers the rooms over the party? I won’t be returning to that hotel.

Understaffed
This is a nice hotel, but it was very understaffed. The bistro/ bar was closed the first night because an employee didn’t show up for work; which was a major inconvenience with 4 children to feed.
