I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the location was quite decent, the overall experience left much to be desired due to the room quality and service issues. The friendly staff were a highlight, but the lack of attention to detail dimmed my stay significantly.
Rooms

My room had an overwhelming detergent smell, which was pretty off-putting. It felt cramped and didn't have the best decor. I noticed some light fittings were taped up, which didn't give me a great impression of the upkeep.
Service
5.0
The service was somewhat laid back, which made it hard to get responses, especially during breakfast. I felt like I had to wait a bit too long to get help, and that was frustrating.
Location

The hotel's location had its perks, but it felt uninviting. The area seemed safe enough, yet it could really use some tidying up to enhance its appeal. There are nice spots nearby, like Tasha's and Beluga.
Dining
5.0
Breakfast was quite bland, and I felt there was a lack of communication regarding menu options. I was hoping for something more exciting, but it just fell flat for me.
Facilities
5.0
The facilities need some serious attention. The gym was a safety hazard - honestly, I would get a better workout in my room. I was hoping for more than just a couple of loungers.

My stay at The Square Boutique Hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location was lovely and quite peaceful at night, perfect for a restful sleep. However, the service left something to be desired, particularly at check-out, which felt overly slow and cumbersome. While the room was comfortable, it could definitely use some maintenance and attention to detail.
