The rooms are clean and very well kept. The staff are very pleasant and professional. I was there for a two night stay for an on-site wedding. The only area of opportunity for me would be the room’s climate control. It was rainy & cold, even after adjusting the thermostat the room remain colder that the hallway temperature.
