For my birthday last month, I dared to try a place, I never thought to explore before. Copenhagen, the capital city of Denmark was a delight to all my senses. Although I missed the sheer delight of its Christmas magic, I was not disappointed in its history and charm. The Best Western Hotel Hebron gave me the base I needed for my exploration. Below, my review. Pros- The hotel was about a thirty-minute drive by cab from the airport. The location itself, tucked away along a side street, allowed for easy walking access onto the main streets, eateries, and transportation stations. The hotel is also located near Tivoli Gardens which, to my disappointment, was closed after the Christmas season and not due to open again until March. Upon arrival, the desk clerks, Cealie, and Alexander, were very pleasant, professional and offered warm wishes when I explained that this was my birthday celebration trip. Throughout my stay, they were always a welcome face to return to for questions or directions. The room, although basic in style, provided the simple needs; a sitting area with coffee table, desk area for my writings, basic bed in a twin like style. The compact bathroom consisted of a sink, a squared off flooring area with a shower curtain and toilet. My room looked down into the courtyard area with other rooms across the way. The sleep quality on the right side of the mattresses, near the bathroom was fair. I switched to the left side, closest to the wall, and found that my rest quality was much better, as though that mattress was not used as often. Radiator heat kept the room at a nice temperature throughout my stay. The only time I used the television was in the late evening as I settled in for the night while watching Danish programs and learning a new language. The complimentary full-breakfast buffet provided a wonderful way to start my early mornings. I would slip in at 7 during the weekend or 0630 during the week to enjoy the stillness of the world outside while indulging on fresh loafs of bread, cheese, veggies, teas, and juices. The buffet was always a feast for the eyes with so many things to choose from beside the standard fare of eggs, bacon, pancakes, and waffles. Try the yogurt, overnight oats, jams, currents, and other foods to delight your taste buds. Housekeeping kept my room very clean and replaced the linen during my stay. Cons- In regards to housekeeping, my only complaint is that the housekeeper on our floor, had a tendency not to knock and announce herself before entering the room. It could have proved embarrassing in a couple of situations had I not been dressed. On my first day in my room, I did not realize that there was slight lift to step into the bathroom. The toe of my boot hit the wood piece, I lost my footing, fell against the sink and while trying to get my balance, fell against the shower wall. Thank goodness I was still holding onto the base of the sink otherwise I would have fallen to the floor. There should be some sort of yellow caution tape or indicator to let people know of the slight change from the main room into the bathroom. During the remainder of my stay, I kept a pair of shoes near the area as a reminder to step up/down to prevent another near miss. FYI-As in most American hotels, I am use to having a face towel as well as hand and bath towels. This is not always the case in most European hotels. As a back-up, I always bring along a face towel or reusable facial/body scrub brush. Overall: I have begun my plans to return to Copenhagen for the 2024 Christmas season and look forward to my stay again at the Hotel Hebron.…
