We were able to check in a tad earlier and this was so very convenient for my handicapped husband. I appreciate the gentleman at the reception who did that for us. It was a pleasant room, pleasant stay, and I would highly recommend. Thank you!

Great

This is a great hotel. Super clean, super quiet and every employee I encountered was very nice and engaged. Highly recommend. The only complaint I have is that the chair in the room is incredibly uncomfortable. It's nice to have a place to relax other than the bed, but that was not it. This was a double queen standard room. I booked a king with extra floor space in order to have a sofa to chill on, but was told upon arrival they had none available . I later that night checked the hotel website and they did have what I booked. I was too tired to press it, but I also did not like that. May be because I did not book on their site. I am a platinum elite IFG member just did not book directly this particular time.
