    Staff were helpful, friendly and shared local information and tips, room was good and clean but worn. Location just off the noisy streets yet an easy walk to middle of town, eateries and attractions.

    Very few free power outlets in room, I had to move furniture about a bit so I had power close enough to a table to use a PC. Staff used the only (1) lift for servicing during the peak 7am>8am period, this could be better organized.

    Like most places in this area it's not good value for money.

    Good location and had free parking, bed comfy enough

    Very overpriced, dated rooms with loose wall sockets, dont be a minute late for check out because they will come knocking and once you tell that member of staff you are leaving now but seconds later they start calling the room phone, seems excessive for only 5 minutes considering the cost of a room and having waited 20 minutes the previous day to check in. Stay somewhere else for the money, nothing about this hotel warrants the price they charge. They also messed up my payment and took it from the wrong card.

    Property response:

    Dear Sarah, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you appreciated our location, complimentary parking, and found the bed comfortable. That said, we’re truly sorry to learn that other aspects of your stay fell short of expectations. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the check-out experience and the payment issue. Your comments about the room condition and pricing have been noted and will be shared with our management team for review. We’re committed to improving and your insights are invaluable in helping us do so. We understand your frustration and regret that we didn’t provide the value or experience you deserved. If you’d be open to discussing your stay further, we’d welcome the opportunity to make things right. Warm regards, Alix Guest Services Agent

    We stayed family room. We could use hot pool(spa?) in other property where located next to hotel. It could help us to relax. The location is very good close by Downtown.

    It's bit hard to find out how do we use change shower and faucet at bathroom for foreigner.

We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the family room and had a chance to relax in the hot pool at our neighboring property.

    Excellent view and location, helpful staff, free secure parking, balcony with table and chairs, charger station, & access to pool and hot tub (though we did not use it)

    (1) beds could have been a bit more comfortable; (2) toilet didn't flush great; (3) deadbolt and chain would have been appreciated on room door (hotel security in general felt lax as anyone could wander in around the halls); (4) it would have been nice to have a complimentary shower cap; (5) the room size was tight (but manageable) for the amount of furniture.

    Check-in was great, very thorough, with the guy taking time to offer advice on activities and restaurants. Only stayed for 1 night, so I didn't check out facilities, but it was perfect for what we needed. We were told we could use their sister hotels spa and fitness room. Location spot on. Staff exceptional.

    Didn't have air conditioning, but the hotel made this clear before we were required to pay. We stayed mid August, this wasn't an issue for us, still had a good night's sleep.
