Wonderful staff. Nice amenities. Great location. The beds need to be burned. The ruts in the mattresses were so deep we could barely turn over and you’re literally stuck in one of the two “lanes” all night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was lovely, as were the staff. Cleanliness of the room and hotel was great, and the beds were comfortable. Lovely touch by replenishing waters etc in the room. We felt the continental breakfast was overpriced. However, we felt let down by the fact that the shower did nid not work whereby there was no water pressure or any warm/hot water.
