The hotel was easy to find and had plenty of parking. Was able to find a “working” cart to carry my stuff to the room. The room was large and had a comfortable chair to watch TV. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Great hotel- I wish all rooms were as great as this was!!

Horribly slow WiFi Hot tub not working (2nd time in 2 visits in the past 2 years) Soda machine stole money by not giving me my drinks (showed desk clerk). He referred me to the manager the next morning, who didn't show up at the time he said she would. The person filling in wouldn't help me. They need a system where the hotel handles refunds, then gets recouped by the vending machine company. Very rough experience at this hotel.
