Good Stay, But...

The hotel was convenient to shopping and eateries. The staff was absolutely wonderful! I was disappointed that the elevators did not work for the weekend. That meant checking in, then exiting the main facility to walk across the driveway to take the stairs. The staff offered to carry my luggage as I recently had knee surgery. Honestly, had I known ahead of time, I would have cancelled my reservation and booked somewhere else. Otherwise, my room was comfortable; breakfast was good, and the staff was professional.
