Location - absolutely perfect. Room - clean, but dated. Bathroom - clean, effective Lobby / valet/ guest services staff - pleasant and helpful! Atmosphere - lacklustre. Possibly undergoing renovations but very bland and lacking. Not a decoration in sight, unless you count the faux Christmas trees still up. Restaurant - So very rude. We had kids with us, and even in a completely empty restaurant were shoved in a back room out of sight twice. Won’t stay here again, which is really unfortunate because the location is so great.

We spent sunday outside enjoying winterlude and came back to the hotel excited for a nice hot tub after a long cold day. The hot tub was closed early as was the pool. We spent the extra money to bring our kids to a hotel with a pool and hot tub. We were very disappointed!!

Honestly, expected more. Room was.. okay. Loud buzzing noise from the vents. Service at the bar/restaurant was fairly poor. Rooms not well insulated, heard screaming babies all night and people shouting in the hallways. Wouldn't recommend.
