Great location just off of highway 17. We were in town for a funeral and many guest as well as ourselves stayed at your hotel. Your staff was kind and put us all on the same floor. We were able to have your free breakfast together and on Saturday night enjoy the comfort of your lounge. Our two day stay was perfect! See you again if we are ever in Pembroke

We are sorry you had an issue with the water. The fans exhaust fan is automatic and is always on in the room. We have had a plumber in to look at the no cold water issue and hope it has been resolved. Thank you for comments.

This place was clean and quiet, so warm and comfy that we sat in the down stairs lounge to drink tea and coffee. I didn’t use the pool area but we looked in and people looked like they enjoyed the area. Has nice fitness area and snacks available to purchase if need be. Different breakfast for the two mornings that we were there for. I would definitely suggest this location and I’d return anytime.

Micheal, the odor is not coming from the elevator. It is coming from the air intake value, and we are having a third party come in and investigate to try and solve this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I loved that it was a 3 minute drive from my concert venue at the Germania Club. I loved that it was easy to access/leave without having to go deep into the city. It was in a quiet location, elevators, breakfast, a pool, all the good luxuries of a great hotel. Best of all, it was very clean.
