wonderful stafflovely loungeinfernal pumpnight frustration
the staff are wonderful and accommodating. the hotel has lovely lounge areas where you can get together and relax and chat with friends. location is about a 30 min walk from a main area downtown (a bit of a trek, i know!) but still has some nice restaurants about a 10 min walk away.
my only beef about staying here is the infernal pump (it's really loud!) which was located down the hall, but you could hear clunking on and off all night. it was so maddening by the last night that i complained to the very decent and helpful night manager who could see my frustration and was kind enough to let me use another bedroom far away from the pump. i would venture to say i'm not the first person to point out this irritation..

strategic locationhomely vibesexcellent serviceclean room
The location suited my needs perfectly. It was close to the National Botanic Garden. I found nearby bus stops very convenient. GoCar was also available. The hotel's decorations created a homely atmosphere, and I enjoyed relaxing in the lounge area. Room service excelled. Staff cleaned the room daily and changed towels without my request.
I found that the walls were quite thin. I could hear noises from adjacent rooms which somewhat affected my privacy.
