Stephanie Apr 11, 2026 04:03:31 PM

Summary: Staff was lovely, however, I paid extra to upgrade to a suite only to be located in what looked like an extension of the hotel. Hallway carpets appeared dirty, doors severely battered. Also room 103 appears to have been possibly two rooms previously as the bedroom door had an electronic keypad on it of which our room key did not work on it so you could not close the door completely otherwise you would not be able to get back in. And leaving it open intruded on the space to get to the left side of the bed. The view or looked at the train station however it was very quiet and you could not hear the noise from the station or the street. Bonus, you’re extremely close to the train station!

Summary: If I could give this hotel higher than a 10 I would. Everything from start to finish was exceptional. From the service, to the extra amenities and details in each room including a towel warmer, bose speakers in both the room and the bathroom, both a tea kettle and espresso maker, as well as the lovely toiletries. The service was phenomenal. The breakfast delivered to our room was absolutely delicious- don’t skip the pastry basket- that croissant was life changing! Will absolution be staying again.
