"Gret breakfast and good location."

Overall Score3.0/ 5

We enjoyed the lobby and patio with the hot tub, but the indoor pool was too cold and there were not enough towel bars to hold wet towels for re use. Rooms need updating. The beds were comfortable, but the other seating was very in adequate.

"No exterior vents to keep us up at night."

Overall Score5.0/ 5

The room was wonderful. just be careful to book with them. I accidentally got on the Book site. The best thing was not that wall unit that has the annoying blowing sounds. I finally slept great at a hotel! Thank you.
