Small hotel means big service

The staff at Smithfield Hotel is welcoming, warm and happy to accommodate any request. With breakfast cooked to order and personal attention offered at every turn, you get the kind of service you won't find at a large, chain hotel.

Negative Reviews

negative:

The Wi-Fi is spotty

The Internet connection in the guest rooms can be slow and spotty which could be problematic if you are travelling on business, want to get an email out in a hurry or use your devices on demand.

negative:

There's no lift

Smithfield Hotel does not have a lift. The steps leading to the guest rooms are rather steep and winding which could prove to be problematic if you have low mobility or a lot of luggage in tow.

negative:

You may have to wait for service

The dining establishments at this hotel can get really busy, especially on weekends and during peak travel season, which means you may have to wait for service and your food. But the good news is that once the food arrives, you'll find that it was worth the wait.
