I didn’t like that our tv had no sound. The gentleman tried to fix it and could not fix it so we watched tv in silence.

The staff was very accommodating. I did have to ask for a different room due to a needed repair to the heating unit. Low backup battery signal from the smoke detector woke me way too early. The room was in otherwise excellent condition. Very nice and clean. I do recommend this hotel due to the caring and actions of the staff I would stay again.
