The stay was good, the room was clean and satisfactory. However we were interrupted with the fire alarm going off. Receiving instructions sooner would have been nice, that is was a false alarm.

I stay almost weekly with you on business. Checking in late Sunday night after traveling from NYC. The night manager is fantastic. HAs my bag in the room and meets me at the front door with my key. Only complaint is the room service menu. The took off the butter chicken and pasta dish.

Would have been better if the fire alarm had not gone off at 2 a.m. with no explanation given to the guests.

A rough night

Customer review rating 4.5/5

Anonymous Couples - 05/02/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel and room were very nice. Unfortunately the fire alarm was set off at 2 am waking my wife and myself from a sound sleep. We never got back to a restful sleep after the alarm was discovered to be false. I understand that these things happen, but what bothered me was that there was no attempt by the hotel or staff to make things right. I wouldn't expect the room to be for free or even a discount, but an apology would have gone a long way.

Great stay

Christine K. Business - 05/02/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The only negative thing I can say was the jarring experience of the fire alarm at 2 o’clock in the morning. Luckily it was a false alarm but it shook us up never the less.

Excellent stay. Excellent dinner. Service is great.
