I'm so sorry that the room did not exceed your expectations with our new renovations. We certainly would love to know of anything we could potentially do to make this better for future stays. Thank you!

5 out of 5
Room was very clean. We need accessibility for wheel chair room and it was awesome. The room was extremely dark though. Very large room and not nearly enough lighting. Bedding was ok. Pillows were very thick. And no light blanket, only a sheet or the heaven bed spread. Room got very warm during the night but was cool in the morning... weird... The bathroom was clean but again very dark. Difficult to do makeup. There was a full length mirror in the “closet” but no lighting. The ironing board took up the area to hang clothes. Staff was very friendly. Complimentary water was nice. Work out room was clean. Hot tub was down for repairs and we did not use the pool but looked to be ok. Several usb chargers. We like to play cards/games, no table in the room to accommodate.

CABLE AND BREAKFAST

Cons: poor cable selection and quality, breakfast not included
The cable TV selection had very few specialty channels such as outdoors, etc., and HBO reception was broken up - the desk said they would contact the cable provider but it did not change in the 20 hours I was at the hotel. Note that breakfast is not included.

Excellent value

Pros: Free Internet, friendly staff
Cons: Poor breakfast
This hotel is very clean, well run with a very friendly and helpful staff. Staff readiness to go out of their way to help impressed me the most. They let me park in front of the hotel over night so they can keep watch over my roof cargo bag that I could not lock. The only thing I was not completely happy about was the quality of continental breakfast but I guess it was ok. I recommend this hotel.

Very Clean

Pros: Quiet
Cons: hard beds
Our hotel room vas very nice and clean. Beds were very hard. Staff were also very nice and accommodating. They tried to give us a smoking room but worked it out to change us to a non smoking room since that is what I had originally requested. No free continental breakfast, but does have a restaurant. Great location.
