Holyoke Vacation Packages

Wonderful classic harbor front hotel. Very nice front desk. Would stay again

Tough stay this weekend, no housekeeping, very dirty bathroom puppy weekend but never received gift voucher even booked a third night spent so much hard earned $ no hospitality no communication very bad experience.

Seventh floor sitting area that looks over the block, with the bed being an all-inclusive (charge your phone in the bed) single person “pod”, amazingly cool if you don’t mind it being small. Expensive price though, hotel requires credit card at check-in but sort of puts $0 on it.

This was my first trip to Nantucket and probably my last. I found the hotel to be nothing special. The garden grounds were not neat and were filled with leaves. No one came to clean the room on our first day there, even though the cleaning staff was in the next room when we left for the day. I finally had to text them late in the afternoon to have someone clean the room. We couldn't find the hotel shuttle when we came in on the ferry, as they assured me they would be a van waiting. The bar closes at 10 p.m. and the only place to eat at the hotel closes at 3 p.m.

This was an interesting hotel and if you have any experience of the raffles brand elsewhere then I would recommend be prepared. The venue is central but overlooking an 8storey multi story car park and rather cramp rooms was not really value add. The suite on the other hand in higher floors were. A butler system which I must say working off some mediocre phone prompts just doesn’t cut it . One looses the will to live when saying I need a shaving kit and al you get back is “is there something else I can help you would”- yes you can some recognition of using ChatGPT or Claude prompts would have been better! For the higher end of hotels in boston the food in the long room was also disappointing. If you are meet and meat you’re not able to be accommodated with much inspiration. Vegetables ala zucchini is about it and although the boston favourites of clam chowder and boston cream pie remain I am not sure how well thought out the menu has been, even the word tofu should appear in this day and age! The pool was good and very much accessible and they had a number of hoists next to the pool to allow people with access issues a dip. The jacuzzi was hotter than a flombe but good for your joints I am told as your joints may melt if you are there long enough. I think my main issue is the staff still need to have a bit more understanding and training on what the raffles hospitality and service constitutes. Great place for influencers but lacks the Mature understanding of what it is.
