We greatly appreciated our stay. Staff was wonderful. Location was wonderful. The ladies and the gentleman that worked at the front desk were all extremely helpful. The room we had was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for our stay. Also the included breakfast was very good and the staff working there were also very nice. If we come back to Sidney we would come back to this hôtel.

The employees of this hotel are stellar examples of what we expect the behavior to be from top rate hotels. They were accomodating, friendly and knowledgable! I wish I was treated half as good at other places I've stayed! The hotel was clean and quaint, but had a lot of stairs on every level. The restaurant was worth breakfast.

A lovely hotel in a great location. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I stayed in room 9, which was a very large room just for 1 person. The room was clean, beautifully decorated and had great views. The only downside was it wasn't en-suite, but there were 3 shared bathrooms close by to this room. Breakfast in the morning was in the bistro downstairs. There was plenty of seating, the staff were friendly and the breakfast selection was great (I enjoyed the big breakfast). I would stay here again and highly recommend this hotel.
