Older, but quaint and clean

Omaha, Nebraska

This is an older hotel, but updated reasonably well and decor in keeping with the area. Front desk staff and check in was flawless, and we were surprised with a very nice upgrade to a suite, complete with a loft, hot tub, and second half bath. The pool is as advertised and welcome treat after a cold and rainy day- beautiful, and very warm. The only reason I didn’t rate it 5 stars is that the usual touch of even mid range hotels is not here - water in the lobby, a few complimentary snacks, coffee/tea available. Those simple touches would make it so much easier for guests to have a pleasant stay. The design of bathrooms was a bit odd, but plenty spacious and scrupulously clean. Would I stay here again? Yup, but would prefer a little higher end hotel with the little touches. Overall, for the area a mid range hotel.

A beautiful lodge , right on the main street with wonderful views around ..

JAMNAGAR

We stayed in this beautiful , cosy lodge with our group for two days. The local tourist bus is all the time available till 10 pm . (We had complimentary bus tickets from the reception !) Buffet breakfast was excellent with the ever smiling and cooperative staff. The local restaurants and market are within walking distance .

Very good and a little bad

Bangalore

The location of the hotel on Banff Avenue is very good - about 15 minutes walk to the main downtown area. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel gives a free local bus pass (ROAM) which is very useful. The only negative was the room - a little musty.

Very convenient - just sad that they don’t have a separate drinking water tap anywhere

Menlo Park, California

We were told to drink the bathroom tap water ... it was just weird to hear that. And surprisingly other hotels we visited (in Jasper) did not have this rule. I think it would have required minimal effort on the hotels part to have a tap set up for drinking ... I’m sure it would make hotel guests feel much better

Good and bad

Salida, Colorado

The Caribou lodge is a nice place with both good and bad items. The Good - located on the main drag, less than 1/2 mile from downtown, s nice first walk. - close to buy stops if you want to take the bus - they will provide you with a complimentary bus passes - free underground parking - rooms are of a good size - friendly and helpful staff of there is an issue - reasonable breakfast buffet ($20) - onsite cook operated laundry The Bad - no air-conditioning in the room. Not an issue in the evening as you can open the window, but warm during the day. Of course opening the window also brings in more noise. The lobby and hallways were sure conditioned. - housekeeping. We had some issues with housekeeping not taking used towels or not providing enough new ones (this send to have been corrected after speaking with the front desk) - breakfast service in attached restaurant. We were seated and didn't see an waitress until she brought the bill. - bathroom layout. The toilet is extremely close to the bathroom sink, with the paper holder actually over part of the toilet. We actually had to remove the paper to sit. Overall a very nice hotel. Don't come when it's too hot! 😁
