Great hotel right next to Tivoli
Decorative pillows needed to be cleaned, but apart from that everything else was great about the room. Perfect if you're seeing a show at the Tivoli

Hotel was very nice. But I picked this hotel for the parking but it was full because it's also open to the public. I drove in, there was no space and tried to drive back out, I wasn't in there 2 minutes and it tried to charge me $35. Not good.

Won’t be staying here again
Hotel is in a good location, however what let it down is its customer service. Upon check-in we were told that we would get drink vouchers. After 15 minutes of waiting, we were told someone would bring them to our room. 2 days later we are still waiting Then in addition, we were out all afternoon and evening and come in at 12 o’clock at night and our room has still not been cleaned. Wet towels on the floor bed not made bins not empty. When we contacted reception at midnight twice to clean rooms, the response was yes and when we asked why house are not been clean no explanation was given. The morning at 11:15 which admitting late is 15 minutes after checkout we had a knock on the door from somebody it looked like they just come off the street to clear the rooms. When we caught the lift to go down Kurt in hospitality to make the guest get the lift first before the employee. This employee just pushed in front and got in the lift first. We will not be back.

Good parking deal for staying at the hotel. Hotel clean and friendly staff, room small but enough for short stay. Bathroom wasnt ventilated/ couldnt locate vent so got very steamy quickly

Staff, room, dining, restaurant was fabulous. Our TV didn’t work - we did, take the remote down to reception for new batteries & report it when left for the evening, it wasn’t actioned or sorted before checkout. Didn’t impact out stay too much, but would have been better.
