“The Mecklen Hotel aims for convenience with its access to local concert venues and an inviting hotel bar; however, recent experiences suggest some rooms need more attention to cleanliness and soundproofing. Though the staff are friendly and the location is advantageous, potential guests may want to inquire about ongoing renovations and recent room maintenance before booking. With some improvements to room upkeep, this hotel could easily fulfill its Tribute Portfolio promise.”
