The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

8/10 Good
"Our room was not ready until 6:00 p.m. After a 9-hour flight, we were exhausted, and my little girl even fell asleep on the couch in the lobby while we waited. We were told the delay was due to the room being under construction, but I did not see any construction near the area where the room was located was in front at the entrance. The room also did not have an air-conditioning system, making it extremely hot and uncomfortable. We had to request a fan just to make the room bearable. Despite these issues, the hotel is in a great location with convenient access to public transportation."

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
