I had a wonderful stay at The View Hotel with its modern decor, and the clean and comfortable rooms really made my visit enjoyable. The location is excellent for accessing the tram to the city, but the dining options were a bit sparse on a Sunday night. Overall, I found great value for my money, especially with the included parking.

I had a decent stay at this hotel with some highlights and a few drawbacks. The rooms were clean and offered a great view, but the bathroom left a bit to be desired and could definitely use some upgrades. The staff was welcoming and helpful throughout my visit. I was a bit disappointed in the dining options as well, but I enjoyed my overall experience for the price I paid.

The dining options were nice, but there were some significant issues with the facilities that impacted my stay. Overall, it had its highlights but certainly room for improvement.

My stay was mostly enjoyable, highlighted by a flawless experience with great views and a comfortable bed. The staff were understanding and accommodating, even with our late check-in. However, there were some downsides; the facilities could use some improvements, particularly the gym and pool area, which felt neglected and weren't very appealing. Overall, it was quite a good experience, but there's room for enhancement.

My stay here had its ups and downs. The family room was spacious and fit our needs well, though we missed having a nice view. The location was fantastic, making it easy for us to explore nearby attractions. However, I was disappointed with the service due to staff shortages, and there were issues with our booking that made things a bit stressful. Overall, it could be better, but I enjoyed certain aspects.
