Hotel is beautiful, staff friendly. Hardest beds I’ve ever slept on, and the walls are so thin. Could hear people upstairs walking, and could hear people moving in hallway starting at 4am. This was a work trip and stayed in a hotel only to sleep, and that was nearly impossible. Will not be back.

I have stayed at all the hotels in the area. This was my least favorite. Everything was so outdated. It felt like a cheap motel with expensive hotel prices. Breakfast was also not great. I wouldnt recommend this hotel.

The Hotel room was exceptionally clean, comfortable and spacious. The only drawback was that the heat didn’t seem to be working no matter how high we put the thermostat up, and our room was a bit chilly.
