Breakfasts had plenty of variety for our 4 night stay - something for everyone. Our room was clean and cimfortable. It had 2 queen beds and a sofa sleeper. However, the outside edges of the beds were so close to the walls no one would be able to get out on those sides. Since it was just the 2 of us, we used both beds and slept on inside halves. Thought that was kinda strange. We may have had a handicap room - the bathroom was quite roomy. Housekeeping brought new towels on days 2, 3, 4, emtied the trash and made out beds even though we didn't ask them to. Nice staff, friendly.

The stay was decent for the money I guess. A couple of things could’ve improved my rating. #1, the window curtains didn’t close, so it was impossible to have a fully blacked out window. Which is important to me. On that note, the rooms are not completely soundproof. The other thing is the outlets in our room were all very loose and didn’t work properly. And the last thing, the people on the reception desk were not very knowledgeable of the area which was a little bit frustrating. Other than that, lovely area, dinner options in walking distance, nice small gym that is equipped with good machines.

The pet fee was inexpensive and they were accommodating for our stay. But it wasn't fun being told we would have someone come in our room to measure the windows on the morning we were supposed to check out, and they never came. We couldn't relax or come and go easily without wondering when they would be coming. They also have too many handicap and electric car parking in the front of the property and not enough regular parking making it difficult to park close to our room Other than that, everything around the property was clean and the staff friendly. The beds were comfortable and the pillows too. Breakfast was delicious with lots of variety but sadly the pancake maker was out of order during our stay.
