I enjoyed the boutique atmosphere of Ashwood The Ridge, but my experience was marred by some significant issues. The check-in process was frustratingly slow, and I encountered several maintenance problems in my room. Despite these setbacks, the hotel's charm and dining options were appealing.

My Deluxe King Room had a broken towel railing, a shattered glass shelf, and a toilet paper hook that was also broken. The blinds were not functioning well, which detracted from my overall comfort.

Service

Check-in took an unacceptable amount of time, with 25 minutes of waiting before anyone assisted me. Additionally, when returning from an evening out, I found myself locked out for over an hour because the main gate was secured, and no one was available to help.

My stay at Ashwood The Ridge Boutique Hotel was a mix of charm and frustration. While the deluxe king room was spacious and inviting (the decor had a nice boutique vibe), the service left much to be desired, particularly during check-in. Unfortunately, issues with access and broken amenities in the room dampened my overall experience.
