    The rooms and corridors were very noisy. No carpet and soundproofing so any type of noise was heard.

    Location, cleanliness, breakfast was amazing

    The major shortcoming of our stay was that our bathroom window did not seem to shut properly and the cold that came in the room, made your stay in the bathroom quite uneasy. Some amenities, like slippers, were missing from the room. I would suggest its addition. Finally, I would suggest the housekeepers to be a bit more careful, as one day someone took our second room key card, and another day another left a duster on my suitcase.

    The hotel is located at a very nice spot, at the start of downtown. Thus it is busy, but also quiet district, in contrast with Temple. You need 15 minutes to walk to Trinity and circa 20 to Temple. The room is quite spacious. The bathroom was very nice, especially loved the shower. The breakfast had a wide variety of choices and overall quite tasty. We also drunk a couple of beers at the bar, which was OK.

    Noisy corridor and we can hear the noise of air conditioning at the back of the room. I requested from the staff to move us to a quiet room and didn’t do any action until after 6 hours I notified the staff again that we can’t watch anything from the television because there was no signal

    The location is excellent. Accessible to all. The food is good very reasonable for the price of the hotel and the facilities are so clean

    We had to ask 3 times before we got the cot we asked for on arrival. But that was all everything else was very good.

    Central location and near by parking. Friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent such a great choice.

    We liked the location for its walkabilty to so many places of interest and restaurants as well as easy access to taxis and buses (although we walked everywhere). But it is a busy street with lots of pedestrian and vehicular traffic that might not be to everyone’s liking.

    The breakfast buffet had something for every type of diet and was never less than good, often really good. The wait staff was great and made sure that plates were cleared to make room for more. Our rooms faced away from the street and were very quiet. The bathrooms are new, large and have roomy showers. We had some light snacks and drinks at the hotel restaurant/lounge (excellent, friendly service from everyone (especially Deborah!) In fact, the entire staff - from those working in the lobby to staff we encountered in the halls - was notably pleasant and attentive. We were at the hotel for seven days and didn’t have one negative experience.

    The room location. Up 2 floors in the lobby lift a walk along the corridor to second set of lifts then down 2 floors to our floor. I guess it’s old and new building with no interconnective corridors no hairdryer in the room.

    Great central location. Good for evenings out and shopping

    Huge hotel so was a little tricky at first to get to room. Perhaps map or some written indicators, especially if you're having to navigate via two elevators. However got the idea following days...

    Spacious well seated lobby and foyer. Beautiful breakfast. Fabulous room (specifically the bed and the shower).
