Our check in and out was easy and quick. The room was very clean with well maintained and updated fixtures. The breakfast area was very clean and well stocked. The bed was very comfortable with 4 fluffy king size pillows. While we did not use the laundry on our floor, I did notice that the machines were new and the area was very clean just like the rest of the property. We had a very relaxing quiet night. I would stay here again.

Overall really good. We arrived very late and almost all the rooms were booked. The room was clean but didn’t have any towels. Called the front desk and they apologized and said they would bring them right up. After 15 minutes I went down to find they had totally forgot about it. It was a very small inconvenience but unpleasant after a full day of traveling and just wanting a hot shower and go to bed. Breakfast was very basic but they do have really good cinnamon rolls.

The area to eat breakfast was very warm. I was sweating trying to eat. There weren’t enough low top tables. I ate by the computer because I hate high top tables. They were all open and the low top tables were full. Maybe you should make all the tables in the eating area low tops.
