Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were quite large, clean, and pristine, except for a slight smell of cigarette smoke. The hotel is conveniently located near the mine, and the service was welcoming and very helpful. However, the lack of guest service info in the rooms was a downside.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms that ensure a good night's sleep, despite minor maintenance issues like peeling wallpaper and a broken drawer. The service was friendly but had some miscommunication, while the location is great for exploring surrounding areas. Dining options were limited and overpriced. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and inconvenience. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but the presence of pet stains and obstructed views dampened the experience slightly. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there were some cleanliness issues in the shower area. The dining options were satisfactory, although the main restaurant has been closed for two years. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
