Staff were very polite and efficient. The room was very spacious and comfortable. Loved the balcony for fresh air.
We attended a wedding there and it went very well. A wonderful venue.

The smiles at reception said it all.
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the Rex. The conversation and smiles at reception bode well for a positive stay. Assistance with parking was wonderful.
It was comfortable (although the beds are firmer than we are used to) and the room was clean.
I really appreciated the pool.
Perhaps considering reducing/removing the small plastic toiletries would be a small improvement.

It's a nice hotel, staff was friendly and approachable. Top floor restaurant was closed during both nights, so that was unfortunate. However, the bar was open so we were able to grab dinner. Room was in great condition and clean. Would stay again.
