Vinland Hotel and Lounge

Vinland Hotel and Lounge

10/10 Excellent
"Very nice place that felt high end yet welcoming. The only issue that wasn't 5 stars was a fan motor that was extremely loud and might have been going out. We got there late and didn't say anything so I can't day the stay wouldn't have addressed it if mentioned. The room was kept could enough when we arrived that it didn't need to run very long anyway. Every staff member we came across was very friendly, and i loved the room and bathroom and shower. I wanted to stay longer."
