The hotel itself is decent The aesthetics are cool however when you walk in it instantly reeks of high school boy locker room It’s as if someone was nervously trying to cover up body odor with the smell of cheap perfume

Pillows had coffee stains from previous stays And there were stains on the duvet Now as far as the front desk I can honestly say they’re just about useless I called down to the front desk to have paper and pen sent and received nothing And then when I extend my stay I am locked out of my room at six in the morning to only be told by Timothy the front desk boy that he can’t find my reservation and that he will not help me if I continue to be rude and that he is new I was however more than direct to what I needed to be done All in all this hotel fell extremely short for the price that was paid Oh and don’t even waste your time at the hotels restaurant You’re better off going to McDonald’s

Jesse Courchaine

Beautiful modern hotel with a comfortable bed and quiet room Decently priced for the area Overnight parking is charged $10 even though it’s in the same free lot as Cheesecake Factory

Cleaning service woke us up at 9AM, there wasn’t a do-not-disturb sign we could put on the door and wanted to sleep in There is a mini-fridge but no microwave There is soda, water and snacks for sale at the front desk but they are not refrigerated Overall, we would stay here again, just a few minor issues!

Vincent Gaines

The Renaissance hotel is beautifully finished The lobby is nice Rooms are modern and tastefully furnished

The prove is high for this area, but less than many other big city hotels This is a Marriot member hotel so all the usual Marriott peeks are here I had a fine suite on the 5th floor Quiet, king bed room with living and dining space My room faces the east so I saw a lovely sunrise several days

Brandie Tidwell Williams

The hotel was great, the staff was very friendly! The breakfast was very tasty with many options Our room was clean, except for a piece of trimmed hair still in the bathroom The only reasons they aren’t getting 5 stars is because all other hotels I have been in offer coffee all day and the valet charges $32 for overnight parking when the sign says $20, but $20 is only the day price

Also, a block away is the parking garage where they park your car, for $20 overnight during the week and the weekend is $10

Jacob Tennie

The Hyatt has great service, polite staff and speedy service The facilities were very high standard The parking costs 32 extra but is well worth the great staff and having your car on hand

The breakfast was included and offered great choices The bedroom was interesting decor, but relaxing and offered a quiet night rest For down town Milwaukee the cost was par the course

Friendly staff delivering great service from everyone The hotel is beautiful and so clean Nice bed which delivered one of the best nights sleep

I especially loved the bathroom and shower Just beautiful We were given two tickets for two drinks each for happy hours Didn’t realized we would be served a full course dinner doing this time Food was excellent! Breakfast was a full course with pancakes and potatoes All of this is included in your stay We stayed for two nights and enjoyed been in the thick of all of the happenings Great hotel and great location Go Milwaukee, I’m truly in love with your city!

Laura Hoff

I stayed here while looking for apartments in Milwaukee and had an excellent experience Every staff member I encountered was friendly and seemed to genuinely care about their guests having a good time The free breakfasts and manager’s special every day helped make my trip stress-free

The general manager and his assistant manager both deserve raises for the excellent service The general manager, Chris, actively helped me find apartments and even went out of his way to offer me a discounted room to stay in while I wait for my apartment to get ready for move-in Plus, the downtown location made walking around the city easy and convenient

Amanda Zima

This was a great place to stay on our trip to Milwaukee! The hotel staff were beyond friendly, breakfast and kickback dinner were good and plentiful The 3 complimentary cocktails were an added bonus! Hotel and room were very clean and the bed was very comfortable The only suggestion I would have is the check in was confusing at first

The parking garage says there is access to the hotel by the skywalk but if you are first arriving, you need to actually go out and onto the first floor first Wish there was a sign or they listed that on the website Overall, this is a great hotel and I would definitely stay again

Great location Clean room FRIENDLY staff

The room was small but we were only there to sleep, so that wasn’t a big deal We book through Priceline and it showed that there was a pool No pool, but there were so many other things to do in the area that we didn’t miss it The kids loved the old US Mail drops Parking was very close and economical Would stay there again!

Hannah Avdic

The hotel has a great location downtown Close to the riverside and pabst theater The staff wasn’t very kind

Other breakfast was pretty empty when we went downstairs I went to inform the front desk and had to wait until they finished a conversation They then brought out cold coffee, not even fresh There were 6 people behind the front desk, as the trash cans were overflowing The beds were the ones with metal springs, so uncomfortable my back hurt for 3 days The rooms were clean though I wouldn’t stay here again

Trina Richardson

Joyce (Front Desk Manager) and Gwen (Room Cleaning Manager) were both very nice and accommodating When we first arrived we were assigned a room the size of a young child’s bedroom When we went back down to ask if we could be switched to another room, Joyce did not hesitate and the next room she gave us was nice and spacious

The only 3 things we didn’t like was that all 4 of the pillows were soft instead of a mix of soft and firm and the breakfast was not good at all (fake sausage and fake cheese omelettes, boiled eggs, cold cereal, yogurt and bagels) There are other breakfast places within walking distance Third, parking is $20 per day in the parking garage across the street So keep that in mind Maybe it would help if they could validate our parking voucherWe didn’t go down to complain about those things because everyone had been so accommodating in all of the other areasOverall, Joyce and Gwen were awesome!! I hope management will give them great raises and promotions! Gwen gave suggestions on where to eat dinner and things to do ❤️Hope my review was helpful!!TRS

Lorraine Neuburg

Although my stays are comped, I do feel the rooms could be cleaner, vacuuming everywhere and shampooing the carpets more often would be welcome Sometimes the room was spotless but the tables were not wiped off The biggest issues for me is that it would be nice if they could monitor guest smoking marijuana in the rooms and hallways

If there was a microwave in each room, that would be amazing Overall I enjoy my stay and the staff is always so friendly and accommodating

Sara Bella

The hotel was very nice Our room was large, cleaned, and well kept The bed was soft with 4 nice pillows

The bathroom was cleaned and fully stocked The casino had many fun games, we enjoyed our time on multiple machines Very disappointed when the restaurant closed 2 hours earlier and the bars on the casino floor where under staffed

Alice Cartwright

My friend and I stopped by yesterday and got some lunch to go but it was a good experience but I don’t gamble but there was a lots of people playing the colts that seemed to be enjoying themselves and having a good timeThe food was delicious and I enjoyed it tooThe place is clean and the workers are kind and friendly and I like thatSo if you like to gamble it ‘s the place to check ✔️ out or if you just want to get something to eat the food is good

So if you’re looking for something to do check ✔️ them out

The employees at the hotel were all friendly and helpful from my first to last day That usually sets the tone for what I should expect from a business The area is in the reformed warehouse district

It is close enough by car to visit the Third Ward where most of the crowd was If you’re walking, plan a 15 minute trek The double queen room was spacious and the beds were comfy The decor fits the theme of the hotel The bathroom has an overhead rain shower I wish the detachable shower head had an adjustable feature instead of having to remove it for use There’s a restaurant with upscale food, casual bar and an outdoor eating space Room service was not offered when I visited I was disappointed this wasn’t mentioned on the website My theory is staffing shortages like most in the hospitality industry, but still a courtesy to inform guests would’ve been nice It was cool to see all the motorcycles out front from other guests Surprisingly it was limited noise and relatively quiet Lastly, the common areas of the hotel were cleaned and maintained

My husband and I got married on April 16, 2022 at The Ivy House in Walker’s Point We needed a hotel for the weekend, for ourselves and guests The Iron Horse was nearby our venue and exactly what we were looking for to fit the overall theme of our wedding

Our experience with them started out a bit rocky, but turned out to be amazing! We struggled with our back and forth communications with the first person in charge of our room block Halfway through, we were assigned someone else (Amanda) who was extremely helpful and easy to work withWe had quite a large block at the Iron Horse, and Amanda made us feel confident in our stay The Iron Horse definitely lives up to the hype! The beauty of this hotel is obvious the second you step inside the lobby The rooms are gorgeous, especially our suite with the incredible view! We enjoyed hanging out at the bar, and plenty of our guests ate breakfast at the restaurant in the lobby A lot of our guests were hesitant about staying here because of the price, but ultimately said it was worth it Everyone enjoyed their stay and had such positive remarks about the building, and staff Thank you for a lovely weekend, Iron Horse!

Lead Sled

Amazing experience We’ve stayed at allot of hotels and this has been one of the coolest The location, downtown by the river, the decor was just super cool

Its motorcycle garage type themed The rooms were set up so well with a rain shower, minibar, fridge, microwave Service was on point also Valet service was nice, a bit humorous because the cars are parked 20 feet from the drop op point but room service for breakfast is great food, 5 star although it was crazy expensive 20 bucks a person atleastoh oh, I forgot the outdoor seating and lounge area We hung out there at night after the restaurant was closed Great spot to chill and talk Have a drink maybe ;)Overall we had a great time at the hotel, we will love going back

Matthew Sable

I was there for a business trip for a week As far as style it’s a very trendy and contemporary place The location isn’t bad either

I have two major complaints First, I reserved a handicap room with a seat in the shower After my morning shower, the floor was flooded everyday Enough not to be able to mop up with a towel Occasionally it would seep under the bathroom wall and into the main room by the door I went down to the front desk and spoke to whom I presume to be the manager He told me that there isn’t adequate pitch so it won’t drain properly I’m not hard to please since none of my property got wet but it does mean there will be long-term damage to their property as it leaks into their walls and carpet, which it did This will inevitably lead to a nasty mold problem and water damage is really expensive Actually, by the time I left, I think it smelled bad since the carpet by the door was routinely wet Since they don’t seem intent on fixing it, I think the public has the right to know before they reserve a room Management was very polite about it and even bought me breakfast one morning but that doesn’t change the fact that there’s a structural problem they haven’t addressed Second, this is the first hotel I’ve ever been to where there wasn’t a restaurant or continental breakfast It’s designed like a Starbucks “Grab and Go” but it’s not my cup of tea Would I stay again? It wasn’t a nightmare but if I had a choice, absolutely not Next time I’m just going to tell my employer to pick some place else

Sidney Condos

Well I’m not even 4 hours into it and they failed to mention that they are valet only, which is an additional charge of $20 daily or $30 over night (gotta love hidden fees!) Also I came with a three year old and based my hotel choice off of the travel wisconsins website seeing as this was “top 6 family friendly hotels in Milwaukee” but doesn’t care to explain that you have to reserve time frames to actually use their pool which of course lead my 3 year old to threw a massive tantrum in the lobby because it took me going all the way downstairs about to go to the pool for them to tell me I’m just hoping she stays awake to make it to this pool time seeing as that’s the whole reason I picked this place for the night & will not have the time too during the rest of my time here

Welcome to Milwaukee I guess? Really really frustrated by the lack of communication Overall clean hotel, amazing super kind staff, great location, only downfall is the lack of communication when it came to their parking & pool policy Whiles the hour reserved pool time was really really nice, I’d want to know that you’d have to reserve a time ahead of time

Javier A. Fernández

I decided to take Memorial Day weekend for my family and me to explore Milwaukee While the arrival was very easy with digital check-in and the available staff, this was the easiest part of the tripDay 1 – we had no garbage can in the room

There was a dark red stain near the bed I assumed it was part of the design (it wasn’t) Later that evening as we pulled the sheets back, we realized that the red stain was seeping through from the mattress to the sheets and it looked like someone either spilled or ejected something onto the mattress and floor I mentioned it to the front desk and though they offered a different room if available-i decided to settle for the sheet change and clean up (I SHOULD HAVE MOVED)Day 2-After a great day exploring District 3 and the riverwalk-we settled in for the evening and ordered food from one of the nearby restaurants As we were in the room I noticed something n the sink basin ANTS There were several and as soon as I saw that I pulled our sheets back to discover a few on the mattress I called the front desk and was told that there was no one to address the situation but they would note it on the log????!!! Luckily I was able to dispose of the few visible ones but sleep was out of the questionCheckout-No note from the previous night When I informed the guest service person about the situation she stated “it makes sense, you are on a lower floor, so ants” WHAT??No manager contacted me There was no reaction The location is great My recommendationSTAY ELSEWHERE

This hotel is a modest 6 story with no good views The rooms are nice inside and appear to have been refreshed recently I like the layout with 2 queen beds and a good sized desk

The shower and toilet are have a door with the sink outside so 2 can get ready at one time This is a mid level hotel so not as luxurious as many Marriott hotels are The front desk person was efficient and got me checked in within moments He seemed experienced and knows the layout of the hotel enough to answer questions about the rooms No suites were available this week

Morgan Stewart

The hotel itself was really nice and clean The staff was great and very professional We arrived early, but they were able to get us checked into a room quickly

The original room they put us in had an issue, but they promptly switched us to another room with no hassle at all I would love to have left a five star review, but unfortunately our night time/sleep experience was pretty terrible We woke up around midnight to really loud music, shouting, doors constantly opening and closing (not quietly), etc It was like we got a room within a block of rooms reserved for a party Ended up calling the front desk as it was definitely the room right next door and wasn’t seeming to wind down, they said they’d take care of it Laid awake hearing this and not able to sleep until at least 1:30-2 and the staff never seemed to address it That made for a far less than desirable experience and has me up in the air if I’d return

Marie Nilson

This was a typical experience at a Marriott Courtyard so if you’ve stayed there before this location is on par for what to expect However, I have to say the staff here are wonderful! Kind and extremely accommodating from small requests like a vase for flowers to a big request like when our room reeked of mold Location was perfect for us being ~10 minutes walking distance from the conference center

Great market hall next door with lots of food options

Front desk and breakfast staff were helpful and friendly Very spacious rooms but need updating Full kitchen but extremely limited cookware- we had to request a frying pan

Only complaint is housekeeping- we stayed for about a month between homes and requested housekeeping weekly They never changed the sheets, didn’t vacuum, didnt wipe down surfaces and left some trash cans full The only way I could tell they were even there was because we got fresh towels and shampoo

magdalena rosario

It room was clean and bed was comfortable We would have rated better but no hot water had to take shower in another room after calling several times to guest services We were locked put of our room due to batteries died so our card did not work

There was no compensation for all the inconveniences I have stayed at many Residents in and never had as many issues

Charlice M Drexler

I scheduled a room and was put in room 702 I liked the layout of the room with tall ceiling and large window As soon as I got inside I went straight to the bathroom, the toilet looked like it did not clean for weeks

Full of stains of people’s business in their The carpet has stains on it The tub was rusty, the kitchen counter and microwave were dirty I had to talk to front desk person and she sent someone to clean the room I was supposed to stay there for 7 nights I was so unhappy I did not want to be charged for last minute cancellation so I only stayed for 2 nights To tell you the truth, I will never stay in this hotel nor will I let anyone I know stay in this place

Our room was very clean It looked very nice, and was located very nicely The employees where quite personable and helpful

And they took care of our bags for free when we where at the farmers market in Milwaukee We needed help with the temperature in our room and they sent someone promptly This is a great place to stay when coming to Milwaukee especially for a bucks game, you can walk to the stadium from this hotel Overall this is a great place to stay

Kristin Temby

I had my wedding block here as well as a meet and greet the night before the wedding Colleen was easy to work with and helped me plan out appetizers and drinks for my guests She went above and beyond and even made personalized tickets for my guests as drink cards

She made sure to check in on me during the evening and make sure everything was running smoothlyWe were able to get a block of rooms, however they changed the block price earlier than agreed upon due to high demand for our weekendAt least two rooms (mine included) on the tenth floor were leaking rain from the ceiling The staff brought in towels but they stated they could not get a roofing company to fix it until this summer so they couldn’t do anything about it I believe something was done financially to make this rightOverall, good hotel for the price and I would recommend for events at the restaurant and bar

Jason Meddaugh

A great location in the heart of downtown Milwaukee, just a few blocks from Amtrak You’re paying for the location and service, it’s not the type of place where you would expect a low rate Restaurant had reasonable prices considering the location

A big thanks to Trent who helped solve an issue with dry cleaning and ensured I had my suit in time for a wedding The rooms are sufficient, though not huge, and the closet/bathroom layout was a bit cumbersome, but overall it was a great stay and location

Maddie Meier

The amenities were good but I can’t recommend anyone stay here especially if you’re going to park on premises Multiple cars were broken into, eventually including our own, night after night during my stay Looks like this has been happening for months if not longer, and yet there are still not enough security measures being taken to deter whoever keeps doing this

Zero cameras in the north lot, which is full of broken glass Also, even though the staff were aware that multiple car windows were smashed and a thunderstorm was expected, no one thought to contact us or to put anything over our window, so we found it in the morning and now we’ve got water damage too The waffles at breakfast were pretty good though

Meg Bray

We agree, stay AWAY! We went to the Brewers game& came back to a parking lot of full of vehicles with their windows broken out (at least 5) that we saw driving through to turn around & park somewhere else I’m pregnant & was a bit worried about what was going on We went to the front desk to report it & the front desk said they were aware

We went up to our floor & found rooms of people that were packing up & leaving They were there since Thursday & this was the second time they experienced the break ins They also told us that some of their vehicles were stolen earlier too! Nope, all of our group (8 people) packed up & checked out Being in my 3rd trimester we were not going to risk having our brand new truck stolen or broken into!!! The front desk was unhelpful & cold when we asked about a refund for rooms we never even got to use We simply got a business card for the manager maybe with all this going on the manager should be there at night to help the staff very disappointed on how the situations were treated Especially for those that experienced it more than once! I didn’t even hear a simple “sorry” to anyone involved

Andrew B

I have been staying here on a regular basis for over a year, and while the hotel is nice, the neighborhood is not I have had not one, but two vehicles broken into and windows shattered this week, and this morning there was about 15 trucks broken into And despite being told by Milwaukee police they need to address their lack of security cameras in their parking lot, they refuse to do anything about it

Nice hotel, but I wouldn’t trust leaving your car here This apparently happens all the time

Fabulous hotel First time staying here, retro styled, newly remodeled, very comfortable room Stayed in a premier king room

Location is very quiet and safe A bit of a walk to restaurants and bars, but worth it since the hotel is just plain cool Was pleased that it had such a nice mother with everything you would need, including a gas stove and large refrigerator We’ll definitely stay here again

Very cute hotel with comfy studio apartment-type rooms The kitchen includes all of the supplies you would need to cook a meal There is a grocery store across the street as well, so it would be easy to pick up the food supplies needed

Parking is provided for an extra fee The hotel still uses old fashioned keys rather than swipe cards, in case that is an issue for anyone (we did not find it problematic) There is also a great cafe in the hotel that had very tasty food and coffee Note that some units are actual apartments with full-time residents–again, this was not an issue for us, just something we did not know prior to checking inHotel is also in a safe and convenient location It is maybe a 10-15 minute walk to the lakefront and the art museum, and we walked to Summerfest in about 20-30 minutes

Angela Galitski

Retro hotel in an ideal location You can walk to the river Walk in under 10min There is no a/c but you are able to open windows onto a courtyard with a nice breeze and has a ceiling fan

Very quiet location with a comfy bed to recover from a long drive from California Service is great and good is amazing! Be sure to order ahead and take back to your room that is equipped with a kitchen!

Was able to get a ton of miles on my advantage account while enjoying a stay here Some of the staff were really nice and a couple were not so pleasant but that’s in it I guess The valet service was top notch all four employees on the different shifts were very helpful and super friendly

The pool table in the lobby was a fun addition to the experience Maybe the thermostat could have gone higher than 75f in the room but other than that everything was clean and perfect We had one issue where we requested a late checkout and the front desk gave us till 1pm at check in but the next day staff was knocking on our door They were very pleasant and accommodating when we told them about the late checkout requested we just wished the shift evening before had noted that so we didn’t have to go through the awkward encounter of having to explain why we were still in the room after 12pm Beyond that, highly recommend if you can afford(it’s not budget friendly) and will be in Milwaukee looking for a nice place to stay

Stayed here for a week on a business trip and I can say I enjoyed my experience Everyone on the staff that I came into contact with was hospitable, warm, and helpful The room was clean (although I wish it had better lighting and a better view)

Also, the rooftop bar has a great drinks and food and a view of the city that is beautiful at night

Kimpton journeyman is a really cool hotel It is super dog-friendly They have fun events every day

They have clean facilities and they even have bikes that you can rent for freeTheir rooftop bar is fun, and their cafe is delicious although it’s hard to commit to their coffee when there are so many other good coffee shops aroundSome knocks against kimpton are- the price, it’s rather expensive for a fairly traditional hotel room- no pool to relax in- no complimentary breakfast (it’s an up charge on your bill)- valet parking is another $37 dollarsSome great things are:- the soaking tubs- location, location, location- staff are very friendly and inviting- dog-friendly

I liked the place A lot of what other negative reviewers state is true: super small bathrooms, old furniture and patch jobs here and there But who cares

The beds were super comfy, shower was nice and hot, TV was nice It’s a good hotel despite its age The rooms are reasonably priced and ALL the staff were incredibly nice and helpful If you want a gigantic bathroom and the newest furniture possible then stay at a $400 a night hotel The only reason I docked it 2 stars is they have what would normally be a complimentary breakfast bar at hotelsit was $18 freaking…COME ON HYATT!!!

Debbie Matheny

The hotel is decent Our room was a king size room with a ‘city view’ The view was of construction

No big deal! The location to our venue was within walking distance The real issue was the fact that the hotel charged my credit card $41869 and states they only charged me $34891 (with a reimbursement of $50 for incidentals) leaving my total bill at $29891 after the reimbursement My Visa bill still shows a charge of $41869 Customer service was absolutely no help at all just wanting to speak with my bank I definitely do NOT recommend this hotel 🥲

Jennifer Bird

I booked this hotel as the ratings were better then another hotel in the area I myself work in a hotel so I was disappointed in the hyatt and its cleanliness The parking garage elevator and stairs were disgusting, the hotel elevators were also disgusting

I couldn’t believe that there was no mattress protector or bottom sheet on the bed as well The room was a good size and clean but the carpet looks like it needs to be cleaned Bathroom was small and the shower head and bathtub faucet sprayed every which way but down The front desk was great though Super nice even though they could see I was in a not so great mood I’m sorry but I’ve paid way less for nicer hotels that have things included so why I paid this much for a room and then having to pay $24 for overnight parking when there is no breakfast or pool was crazy to me I will not stay here again

The hotel itself is dated and slightly worn, however, the room was very clean We came in contact with many staff members, and they were all so friendly I, specifically, want to recognize Sharon who was working the front desk area

Sharon was efficient, professional and congenial Marriott is extremely fortunate to have Sharon as an employee What a fabulous first impression!

Allen Osowski

We have been staying here through my daughters college years at UWM and this was our final stay due to graduation If my daughter did not graduate we would definitely look elsewhere for a hotel room We were early and arrived at noon, we were told by the shorter heavy set woman check in is at 3

She told us she would check how long before our room would be ready 10 minutes later she comes back, ignores the fact we are sitting there waiting and goes to back only to come out with a plate of food and sits in lobby eating while watching tv Then 3 other employees come to lobby to converse and buy snacks (yes, everyone needs a break i agree) but these were all cleaning people The cleaning manager asked them if they had work to do? Slowly dispersing I think they went back to work Also 1 lady worker stood at front counter the hole time we were there We checked in at 3 Cleaning manager said he cleaned room himself which took 1 hour 15 minutes after he said give him 20-25 minutes Oh did I mention, the desk clerk went back for food 2 more times for herself That evening there was a tall slender woman behind the desk What a joy compared to the cranky one in the morning I think she needs to look elsewhere for employment since she definitely shouldn’t be the face of Marriott

Elizabeth Reap

Most of the staff are extremely rude The rooms are not cleaned There’s dirty dishes in the kitchen and mold in the shower

I’ve had multiple things stolen from and no help from the staff besides a vague email weeks ago from the manager They won’t clean your room until you ask multiple times Even then, all they’ll do is take the trash out and give you new towels

I have stayed here several nights on multiple occasions The staff is always friendly and very helpful The rooms are decent, a little noisy and a little too warm, the thermostat only goes down to 68

The location works well for me, within walking distance of pretty much everything in the third ward You can even easily walk to the Milwaukee Art Museum But definitely come back

Ellis

Recently, I met a friend who came into town for a few days Very pleasant front desk employees! However, the porters could use a lesson or two in customer service I was carrying two heavy bags up the stairs, and along with a porter being in the way at the top of the stairs, he never even offered to open the door

Personally, I can’t comment on the rooms since I didn’t stay there but my friend said hers was comfortable

Sarah Hyndman

Nice place, lovely staff! Stay was greatThat said, just double check the prices before you book Taxes are really high

Total cost was $200/room/night plus a $50 hold per night on your room We were initially charged $500 for two nights when we arrived And then parking costs $36 per night Just check the details twice before you book

This was my first trip to Milwaukee and I am grateful this is where I stayedThe Hotel Staff were amazing and kind Shout out to Noah and the other Front Desk Team

As well as the Vallet StaffThe room was spacious, clean, and well equipped The best part of my stay was the bed Westin hotels always have nice beds but this was the best one yet

Maya Jerdy

Stayed at many hotels and this is easily among my favourites The staff is impeccable The restaurant is delicious

The amenities are great The gym has two pelotons and full equipment spread + weight sets The rooms are clean and well-taken care of The area easily supports walking anywhere worthwhile in-townI couldn’t recommend more!Shout out to Julia from reception who brought me ice, water, and some goodies when I hurt myself and was noticeably struggling That was beyond kind but nothing unexpected for this fabulous hotel

Jessica Allen

The staff at the front desk was very friendly and knowledgeable, the overall cleanliness of the hotel was good However housekeeping was not friendly if you ask for something wouldn’t even acknowledge you at the door The most damaging which overall resulted in this low rating was the fact that we had no sheets, pillows, or anything of the sort for the pull out couch and when I did pull the couch out to make it we found packs of cigarettes and joints
