Reviews and Ratings
While the hotel has a lot of potential with its beautiful decor and attentive staff, my stay was marred by some significant issues. The room I stayed in left much to be desired, particularly in terms of cleanliness and noise isolation. On a positive note, the breakfast was a highlight, with delicious options, but the overall experience was less than ideal due to the disturbances and room conditions.
I had mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. While the positive aspects included a stunning building and helpful staff, my personal experience was marred by issues such as double charges for breakfast and some missing items from my room. Overall, I enjoyed some parts of my stay, but the problems I encountered would make me hesitant to return.
I had a lovely birthday party at the Mandolay Hotel, where the staff made everything run smoothly and everyone enjoyed the buffet and drinks. However, the room I stayed in was quite small and a bit noisy at night, detracting from the overall experience. Breakfast charges felt excessive as well, which added to my concerns about value for money.
My stay at this boutique hotel was a mixed bag. While the room was comfortable and I had a peaceful night's sleep, the service during the dining events was a letdown. The location was fantastic for accessing local attractions, but the dining experience, particularly during events, left much to be desired. Overall, it's charming but could definitely improve in key areas.
I had a decent stay at this hotel, enjoying the modern and clean room but found the noise level unsettling, especially in the mornings. Parking was a hassle and not well-explained during booking, which was frustrating. Overall, it's a solid option if you're looking for a good rate but be prepared for some disturbances.
