The staff is just top notch, and that really says alot in and of itself about this establishment! VERY clean place. Classy. I liked the high ceilings. It made the room feel huge. Bed was super comfy. Pillows could have been better, but we won't take away any stars for that because there were like 5 on the bed, plus extras in the closet, as well as extra blankets, which I really appreciated. At any other place I've stayed at, you get 2 or 3 flat pillows and definitely no extras! I loved the bathroom. Very quiet. Ice cold air. The girls came in and made my bed for me while I was out (extra star for that)! A little bit on the pricey side, but it was a convenient location for me, so I was willing to pay the extra. I liked that there is a covered garage. There were lots of seating areas outside. Decorated nicely. Waterfall and lights were a nice touch. Worth the $150-200/night price tag?? That's still up for debate, but I'd definitely stay again. A pool and/or spa on site might make it worth that price point for me. It's cool that you can use the YMCA's amenities, but they close super earlier, leaving limited time for use. Keep doing what you're doing, Hotel Anthracite!

Room was fine but we walked in and immediately smelled cigarette smoke despite it being a smoke-free hotel. Hotel bar was not open on a Saturday night, which was unfortunate since the entire bridal party was planning on going there post wedding reception.

Service was outstanding - friendly, warm, accommodating. Hotel was clean and neat. Food was excellent at the restaurant (Kol). Only negative for me is that it's easy to hear your neighbors through the walls.

Room is nice, clean and well kept. Checkin was a little slow - I guess the reservation software was updating. Good breakfast buffet with eggs and a meat. Small but ok gym. Parking was easy. Area around the hotel pretty much closed down by 9 pm on a weekday.

Employee at the front desk when we checked in was absolutely great! The hotel itself was nice and clean, as was the room. (The shower could have been a tad cleaner) The beds were comfy and our room had a nice view onto the little courtyard. Cons are that the doors were not very well fit to the doorways. The bathroom door was extremely loud because it stuck every time it opened or closed. There is no cable TV. It wasn’t a big deal for me because I have all the smart tv subscriptions, but it would have been if I didn’t. Despite breakfast being advertised on the website and on Expedia, there was no breakfast on a Saturday morning, that was very disappointing because it was one of the main reasons I chose the hotel.
