The hotel really dazzles with its chic and luxurious design. The interior is beautiful, with a vibe that feels exclusive and upscale. However, the service was a letdown and didn’t match the high-end look and feel of the property. When we checked in, the staff member at the front desk simply pointed us to the stairs . We assumed this led to an elevator, but instead, we had to step outside and walk to another building to reach our room. Not exactly the warm welcome we were expecting. Our room wasn’t cleaned during our stay. They didn’t provide door hangers to indicate whether we wanted the room cleaned, so we assumed it would be taken care of. At the very least, they could have emptied the trash bins. Even the common restroom in the lobby ran out of toilet paper, which was surprising given the hotel’s focus on aesthetics and luxury. At the end of the day, Hotel Heron seems to be all about optics- looking the part but not delivering when it comes to basic service. While the design is top-notch, the lack of attention to customer experience left much to be desired.

It is immaculate, has outstanding customer service, and is in a perfect location. Rosie, our attendant, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable; she was very welcoming and polite. Every highlight from Old Town is within walking distance. We will be staying here again. I highly recommend it!

Everyone’s was super nice and the Hotel was very clean and beautifully decorated. They have a lovely bar and eating area. No coffee makers in room but the staff puts out free fresh coffee daily and told me to call the desk and they would bring coffee up if you are desiring coffee but still relax in room. Again m, east check in and check out and a great staff and Hotel Managers! I will definitely stay again soon!
