We have stayed there many times in the past 30 years, still like it but it’s dated, room could use update, still wish it had a microwave! And parking lot always sucks as it’s small and tight, not great for trucks. Location is perfect, staff always fabulous, and even with what I don’t love, I’ll always go back, it’s just our place to go… did I mention you need microwaves? 😉

The location was perfect. Can walk throughout the town. Underground parking was a definite plus! The hotel itself is dated. Could use new carpet. If you get cold easily, bring your own extra blanket! I am happy I brought my heated blanket- as they were not any extra in the room! Room was a bit dusty, old coffee pods were left in coffee pot and water from previous guests was left in ice / wine holder. Noisy at 6 am sounded like garbage trucks were racing down the streets. Paid a total of $256 for two nights- it really in our opinion -is not worth more than that per/ night-

i gave my review as average instead of poor because the staff is so nice, no issues with parking and easy to walk to shops and dining, but the property seemed to be party central. of 6 nights, i only slept 2. on night 3 i was moved to a different room which was wonderfully quiet for 2 nights but the last night another group of party animals unfortunately moved in and occupied several rooms on the floor resulting in no sleep again prior to driving through a snowstorm to get back to the airport
