"It's an old hotel, but it's really well-cleaned. The staff is also friendly. However, perhaps because the building is old, the soundproofing is a bit disappointing. I can hear the sound of the door and voices from the front room next door."

Park Place Hotel

Park Place Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel is nice, but starting to look a little dated. One of the elevators was out of order, so only one small elevator was in use during out 2 night stay. The rooms were updated, but still showed a bit of wear and tear. One of the outlets in the bathroom shorted out my hair dryer and then the outlet wouldn't work after that, even after pressing the reset button. The room doors didn't block out much noise, we could hear doors opening and shutting around us throughout the morning/evening hours quite clearly. The staff was very friendly though and overall we would stay again, given the fair pricing of the room and the proximity of being able to walk right downtown to the main drag of bars and shops."
