The hotel has added a parking charge. When we returned back after dinner, the entire parking lot is full and this is not a part of the town where there is any street parking within about a mile when we try to speak to someone at the hotel, there is no staff on site only a virtual assistant, and they had absolutely no solution

The secondary room in our suite had no airflow. It was freezing in that room and the main room was unbearably hot since we had to force the warm air through the open door. It defeated the point of having a private room when we couldn’t keep the door close due to the lack of heat. The pool was also under renovation which sucked since we only booked it during winter for the indoor pool usage. They didn’t tell us it was under construction until a few days prior.

The checkin was seamless. This was first stay where i experience a no contact check in check out process. They are very prompt with text messages with any updates. Anything additional needed is available in the lobby. The place had MW/ Fridge and was cozy to stay and located in a major location.

The hotel is old in appearance but the room was large with a fireplace, fridge and a microwave. The bathroom was decent. There was enough coffee and tea in the room and also in the office. The only thing missing was a restaurant and that is probably the reason why breakfast was not available. The pool was under reconstruction but we wouldn’t have used it anyway as we arrived late and left early in the morning.

The room was spacious, but could've used a little extra cleaning. The floors could've been vacuumed a little bit better, but relatively the room was fine. Easy place to find as it is one of the few hotels with a white fence out in front. Close to the mall and plenty of eating places to choose from. Also one of the few hotels that can accommodate a larger family as the suite rooms have three queen beds. You have to book quickly as the number of larger rooms are limited.
