"Staff was exceptional - very friendly and welcoming. Helpful in making suggestions for a more comfortable stay, recommendations on local sites, and ensuring we had everything we needed. Communication was proactive - loved the room we had. Breakfast meal was very well prepared and tasted wonderful. Parking was a little challenging to find (even with their proactive directions) but was very good once we got there."

"Well worth the stay for the $200 we paid for one night. Room was spacious and had a Queen, two Twins, and a bunk bed in a side alcove. I’m told it goes for far more, but we enjoyed the night. The pool and gym are good, but they required you to purchase a $5 swim cap if you don’t have one. We’ll be back if we can book a longer stay at a similar price. Enjoy. 3.5 stars out of 5!"

"Everything was fine, I enjoyed my stay at Tracy's Waterford. Have stayed here before. My only complaint is I have mobility issues, my car was parked in the carpark. There were 3 vans parked outside the Hotel, 1 man obligated me by moving his van make space for my car. I booked out of the hotel, I went to the carpark with 1 bag. my suitcase was in storage, when I returned with my car. A 4th van parked in the last space. So I had to leave my car out on the road with the Hazard lights on, disrupting the cars in the 1st lane, so they had to go around my car to move up to the traffic lights at the bridge. There are no other alternative choice for anyone in such circumstances, I mentioned this to the receptionist when I came back to collect my suitcase. Those men were plumbers and electricians and other tradesmen working at the hotel using the available space outside the hotel for customers. While at the same time saving on parking fees . As management you need to look at this issue from a business sense point of view."
