Great stay!

This hotel was a very pleasant place to stay. The staff were wonderful, the room was clean and very well appointed, the bed was comfortable, and the shower had great water pressure. It was also very quiet at night and is in a very good area. There was plenty of free parking, a good sized elevator, and brochures of attractions in the area. There is a large room for breakfast and also a cafe next door. I highly recommend it!

The room was set at 55 degrees, when we tried to raise it nothing happened. The front desk closes at 10 so we couldn't get more blankets. It is not manned in the morning till 8 so when the coffee ran out we were all out of luck. There was no salt or pepper in most of the shakers and no microwave or toaster oven. We will not go back.

Our room was lovely and spacious. Some problems were the poor Wi-Fi connections as well as hearing constant noise from the heater and the fan. The breakfast was fine, something for everyone. Cookies in the afternoon were a nice treat! The location is excellent. We would definitely recommend this property and would look to stay when we are back in the area.
