A very nice hotel with a convenient location, however, West Bend, WI, with all due respect, doesn't have much hotel competition. Firstly, the good part: the hotel was attractive, new, clean, comfortable and I love their beds!!!! It was a very nice facility overall but, had minor deficiencies which irritated this business traveler. When time is limited and one has to adhere to schedules, these issues are quite annoying.
Heating and Cooling: HVAC unit did not function on a low fan setting. HI setting was very intrusively noisy and resulted in an overly cold room. This may have been an isolated incident and I did not contact the hotel about this issue since I stayed for only one night.
Breakfast: NO COFFEE AVAILABLE at 7:30AM. I had to search for an employee to ask for coffee. Once I asked, the employee was very gracious and responsive. THANK YOU !!!! I do believe there is NO excuse for not having coffee available at prime breakfast times. The breakfast was very limited compared to other competitors, however, I would have been fully satisfied if all items were readily available. Also, the offerings were not refreshed and I found myself scraping the bottom of the chafing trays for some remnant of eggs and Canadian bacon. As for quality, the scrambled eggs were swimming in water and only on spoonful was remaining...likewise with the Canadian Bacon. If you entice me with free breakfast, I expect that it is to be ensured that it is available at all times.
Let me emphasize that the room was very attractive and the bed was SUPERB !! However, I need to sleep at a comfortable temperature free of intrusive noise and the AC unit, while providing very abundant cold air, was noisy with its fan.
I stayed only one night in one room and, despite my critique and nit picking, I definitely will stay there again and will politely speak up about improvements that I believe are needed. read more
