Hotel is in a great area near the University. It’s an older hotel and needs some updating but the room was clean and the beds comfortable. Quiet location.

Staff was helpful and friendly and the room was wonderfully clean and roomy. Location was wonderful, close to so much and yet just a slight off the busy (noisy) pathways. We felt secure and comfortable. :-) Would definitely stay here again.

The property was in a nice location. The staff is friendly. Being as pricey as it is, you’d think there would at least be a hair dryer in the room, but there wasn’t. The beds were comfy.

The room was exceptional and the staff even better. The breakfast was great, huge variety and made fresh daily. Thank you for a great stay.

10/10 Exceptional

The unit is spacious, although a bit smaller than the first one we had a few days ago, before we departed on our trip to the Scottish Highlands. The washroom is great, except there is no mat for the tub, But it does have a standalone shower outside the tub, too, for seniors who cannot get into the tub.
