We were very pleased with our stay. Friendly staf, great variety of breakfast items and cleanliness of the hotel. The room was clean and big. We had a problem with the AC and they came right up to fix it( it got unplugged) one thing i would change is the check in time. We had an early flight and had to stay at families house till later that day. All in all great experience.

Because it is a room for handicap guests, the door remains open, closing it ends the problem. We will take into account your comment about the lighting of this room, thank you
