Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Nice inside and outside! Staff was very pleasant and check in was really easy! In a good area that's close to shops and restaurants. They are building a jail across the street, so it was noisy during daylight hours.They worked overnight as well and it was pretty quiet once dark, we were thankful for the blackout curtains bc there were bright lights for the workers. The rooms were spacious and beds were very comfy with great pillows. There was a little sign that mentioned a mini wet bar in the room, but there was none, which a mini fridge would have been nice to have, but not essential to us. I wish it was available for another weekend trip I have coming up bc I'd def stay again!

Wonderful stay. Rooms are lovely, clean and quiet (aside from the slamming doors of other rooms but that seems to happen in every hotel now?). Everyone on staff was super nice and helpful. The "resort fee" feels like a strange scam—an obligatory $25 surcharge each day for not great breakfast and very weak/intermittent WiFi—but the price per night and general stay of the hotel was truly great.

Disliked: Amenities
My stay at NuHotel was just okay nothing really special. The rooms were very spacious and the location is ideal, but honestly that was about how good it gets. I feel like there are better hotels you can stay at that will be worth your money. At this hotel I was told I had to pay a certain amount everyday for amenities and it just isn't worth it. I had a 4 day trip and the wifi was not working for the whole duration of my trip. Everyone asked about it and the staff was very nonchalant with there response. No answers were given it was just "they haven't told me anything" and honestly the general manager gave off a "its not my problem energy". The only place to get wifi was the lobby. So can you imagine everyone is in the lobby working and talking for long periods. It was uncomfortable you want to be in the comfort of the room especially if you are having private conversations or working. And after so many people being in the lobby it was dirty so I don't know I felt really uncomfortable. So like I said there are better hotels to stay at this was kind of pricy for the bare minimum.
