Guest Ratings & Reviews
Our stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The room was very well prepared and impeccably clean, but the lack of windows was a downside, leading to a bit of waiting time to access it. The service we received from the staff was exceptional, as they were all incredibly sweet and went out of their way to assist us. The location was convenient, with easy access to various restaurants, but the view of older buildings nearby was not the most appealing. The dining experience was enjoyable, and the hotel offered good value for the money. However, the facilities could be improved.
My stay at the Ironwood Hotel was quite relaxing and accommodating. The room was clean, but unfortunately, there was no hot or warm water for a shower. On the bright side, the room had fast Wi-Fi and a mini-bar, making me feel special. Waiting until noon for check-in was a bit of a waste of time, though.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, while clean and average in size, were a bit smaller than expected. The service from the staff was excellent, but I found the dining options to be a bit lacking. The location was convenient for accessing restaurants in the city, yet the WiFi was unreliable. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were well-kept and styled beautifully; however, the size was smaller than expected for the category booked, and the lack of a window in my room was a downside. The fast Wi-Fi and the presence of a mini-bar and fridge made the experience special.
