St. Croix County accommodation from NZ$133

Friendly staff. Loved the colours of the decor. Great breakfast. Nice gym that wasn’t too hot, and had working equipment (unlike many hotels I’ve stayed).

We were in town for a cheer competition and had never been to the city before. I will go with the not amazing parts first - if you want to park AT the hotel, it is valet only and an additional $32 per night. There is a parking garage across the street - we were there in winter, and my teen daughter brought the house with us - so walking back and forth, in the snow was a hard no. The GPS took us to where the apartment residents pull in to park - NOT where you go as a hotel guest for valet. We had to go around the block a few times until I finally figured out WHERE the valet was for the hotel - it is NOT well marked; even the hotel itself - there's only a small sign by the doors. When you are trying to navigate traffic, in the snow, thru one way streets and multiple stop lights, in a place you've never been - it was awful. Once I was finally inside to go check in, the woman at the front desk was NOT friendly.. at all. Maybe she was just having a bad day but, it was not a good first impression of the hotel. That all being said.. when we finally got to our room, WOW! The room more than made up for our rough start. It was HUGE! And SO nice. The height of the windows and ceiling, the layout, the bathroom, all was GREAT! Breakfast at the hotel was good. The lobby/breakfast area/seating area was clean and inviting.. in between competitions we hung out and chatted down there. Overall it ended up being a good stay in one of the nicest rooms I've been in!

Great location, just a few blocks from the X. Restaurant has good food and cold beer. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Perfect place to stay for the hockey tournament.
