My stay at this hotel was a regrettable experience. The rooms were tiny and outdated, and the cleanliness left much to be desired. The staff seemed indifferent and unhelpful when I encountered issues, which only made the experience worse. The breakfast was lackluster and not suitable for vegetarians. Overall, I would highly recommend looking elsewhere for a better experience.

My stay at this hotel was far from enjoyable. While the location had great views of the hills, the building itself was drab and in dire need of some updates. The room was decent in size but felt outdated, and the dining options were bland and nothing to write home about. The price seemed reasonable for the area, but I definitely expected more for the money I spent.

I had a rough experience at this hotel, which really seemed to be on the decline. The location had great views, but the building looked quite shabby and in need of serious maintenance. The room was decent enough, and it was clean, but outdated. The dining experience left much to be desired, with bland food and limited options. For the price, it might be worth it for a short stay, but I won't be rushing back.

My experience at the Glenfield Hotel was incredibly disappointing. The facilities were outdated and poorly maintained, and the service was lackluster at best. The rooms were far from clean, and the food quality was shockingly low for the price we paid. I would recommend seeking alternate accommodations if possible.
