As a former guest of this establishment nine years ago when it operated under the Golden Tulip brand, I was intrigued to revisit and see how it had evolved. Unfortunately, my recent stay left me with mixed feelings.
While the staff remained friendly and helpful, and the breakfast offered was reasonable, the overall experience fell short of expectations. The once newer establishment now boasts outdated furniture and bathrooms, indicative of its aging infrastructure.
My first night proved to be a challenge, with disruptive noise echoing from a group of unruly teenagers, likely from sports teams. Despite my request, the staff were unable to relocate me due to full occupancy. However, the following day, they promptly accommodated my request and shifted me to a quieter floor, alleviating the disturbance.
One notable drawback is the hotel's distance from the city center, necessitating lengthy Uber rides for any excursions. This inconvenience, particularly for business travelers, detracts significantly from its appeal for those with professional obligations.
In conclusion, while the hotel maintains a level of charm with its friendly staff and reasonable breakfast offerings, its outdated facilities and distant location from the city center make it a less-than-ideal choice for business travelers seeking convenience and modern amenities.
