Not terrible

My room was right above the restaurant attached to the hotel. During restaurant hours, I could hear voices all night until closing. I could also hear everything in the halls and the rooms weren't sound proof and I didn't realize there was no pool. I enjoyed my overall stay the room was small, but comfortable and clean.

One of the worst experiences and definitely worst in Marotte network. Staff was kind of neutral and some people were not trained. No instructions or welcoming in the room. Almost no information on a frint desk. Bathroom and toilet are in the same space as kitchen area in the room. Tables at the lounge area are greasy. Breakfast is poor and there was almost no options for the kids.

I was not a fan of the design, it felt like a dorm room by IKEA, small tight quarters, although the bathroom was spacious. Beds were comfy, but noise in the are due to college students was a bit too much.

Not impressed. Treated poorly by staff. Was in town for 1 night for a funeral, asked for conjoined rooms as we have kids. Mentioned this numerous times before getting to the hotel. arrived at 11AM, refused us a room until 3. At 3, they said they gave away conjoined rooms and didn’t have any for us. Really bad experience. No room service. Awful bartender who could not make drinks and whose nickname was a bit distasteful. The entire experience was awful. I do not recommend going here for any occasian.
