Very nice Grand Abode!

suave decor friendly staff spacious room

The grand reception has suave décor with antique furniture and a bar! The staff greeted me warmly during check-in. throughout my whole stay. The room was spacious and clean, a great place for two people! The beds felt very comfortable and the pillows were super plush.

The parking situation proved inconvenient. I found limited spaces available, with no guaranteed spot after going out for the evening. The cost seemed relatively high for the service provided. I would love to see improvements in this area.

not quite living up to expectations

slow wifi off milk

I found a few things lacking, sadly. the promised high-speed wifi was more like dial-up. I could barely load a webpage. also, the in-room coffee situation was a joke, just instant granules and some uht milk that tasted suspiciously off. and honestly, the noise from the street at night was intense. It sounded like a demolition derby until well past midnight.
