OK but sub par for this hotel

Room was comfy. Staff was friendly. Issues were the in room coffee maker didn't work. We asked for a replacement but no one did anything. Breakfast was $15 for watered down powder eggs that did not taste good. Not worth it so we skipped it day two.

First time at Varscona

We had a pleasant stay at Varscona. The front desk staff were exceptionally helpful, friendly, and accommodating, going out of their way to honor our request for a quiet room. A special shout-out to the team for their warm hospitality! The linens and towels were clean, and everything in the room was in good working order. While the hotel could benefit from some upgrades and a thorough deep cleaning, the attentive staff made our experience enjoyable. Thank you for a comfortable visit!
