The Vault Hotel

This hotel was very very clean and well maintained. Only wished there was a check in and out desk, very confusing, can’t get in to building, have to call to enter. Rooms were very modern and exceptionally clean. Only problem was the bed was only a foot off the floor and was very hard to get up from for an elderly person. Lightning was phenomenal. No parking on premises but is just across the road and convenient

The hotel has an excellent central location and occupies a beautifully renovated former bank building. Parking is conveniently available directly across the street. Unfortunately, however, the price is very high for the accommodation and level of service provided. The front desk did not appear to be permanently staffed. Staff generally remained in the area behind the entrance lobby and breakfast room, which made them difficult to locate whenever assistance was needed. We encountered a similar problem in the basement bar, where the bar staff were frequently out of sight. The much-promoted “speakeasy” was disappointing. In reality, it felt like a small, brightly lit hotel basement bar with very little atmosphere and did not live up to the description. There were also very few customers there, even on a Friday evening. The building and location have considerable appeal, but the hotel appears to be priced like a luxury property in the centre of a major city without offering the corresponding facilities, atmosphere or attentive service. We would consider staying again when visiting Houghton, but only if the rates were reduced considerably.

We had no shampoo or conditioner in the containers attached to the shower wall. My husband had to use shower gel and I skipped the shower. Breakfast choices only ok with lukewarm coffee. VERY expensive for what we got. Save your money.

Great 1 night stay. Clean, convenient and modern.

This is a terrific place to stay in Houghton, close to everything downtown. It's absolutely lovely, with all of the amenities, wonderful staff and great service. If you are looking for a simple, quiet, but beautiful place to stay, this is it. I will be back.
