First time at Varscona
We had a pleasant stay at Varscona. The front desk staff were exceptionally helpful, friendly, and accommodating, going out of their way to honor our request for a quiet room. A special shout-out to the team for their warm hospitality! The linens and towels were clean, and everything in the room was in good working order. While the hotel could benefit from some upgrades and a thorough deep cleaning, the attentive staff made our experience enjoyable. Thank you for a comfortable visit!

Kelly, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

OK but sub par for this hotel
Room was comfy. Staff was friendly. Issues were the in room coffee maker didn't work. We asked for a replacement but no one did anything. Breakfast was $15 for watered down powder eggs that did not taste good. Not worth it so we skipped it day two.

8/10 Very good

Pleasant stay
We always enjoy our stays at The Varscona, but would really like the hotel to replace the in-room coffee makers; they are awful. I would recommend a regular Keurig machine.
