The stay was nice. Room is great for a long stay. My window leaked when it rained and when I checked it out it wasn't even locked. Kind of strange, guess I should have checked it sooner. Very clean, very comfortable. Breakfast was always good, basic hotel style. Not many guests when I was there so it was quiet!

Breakfast was not as good as what we get in other hotels. The hockey puck eggs were not good and we saw something that might have been sausage, but didn’t try it. Could have just been a bad day for someone. The elevator didn’t work (and had a sign), but it would travel to the floor, preventing the working elevator from coming up. That was frustrating. The place wasn’t full, but they put us next to an occupied room. So instead of a really quiet night, we got to enjoy someone else coming and going all the time. Loved the fact that there was a tub. Not a bad experience, but it could have been better.

We loved the property with the exception of the overwhelmingly bad odor associated with pets being in the room previously. Unfortunately, despite the room being nice and meeting our needs for space, the pet smell was unbearable and we are not able to consider returning to the property.
