This hotel is very overpriced. I have stayed multiple times, due to last minute availability, and the rooms are always dirty. The breakfast is the only good part of the stay. It is very good.

Would not stay again

Was difficult to get into. Had to go through Super 8 to get to parking lot. No hot tub even though I thought I had seen one advertised. Pool area was not well cleaned. Check in was easy and staff friendly. Coffee needs improvement. Breakfast was good unfortunately could hear the noise outside. The heat worked very well.
