We were there for our grand-daughter's birthday. Location suited us. Pity that the waffle-maker never seems to be used. Whole-wheat bread would also be a nice addition.

Better in the past

Another last minute single night stay.. Having stayed here many times in the preceding years, I was disappointed to find the condition of the property had diminished. The phone in my room didn't work; apparently they've disabled in-room phone service completely, so no wake up calls. However, as they've removed all the instructions to use the phone, I couldn't turn off the flashing red light that indicated a waiting voice message. Worse yet, they removed the clock radio, which used to be a standard feature. I would have used that for a back-up alarm. Not all the lights in the room worked. There were only 3 hangars in the room to hang up my clothes for the overnight stay. on top of all that, the refrigerator in the room had a broken door which wouldn't close completely. Therefore it ran constantly (for who knows how long) and made weird noises that kept me awake. I finally had to unplug the refrigerator so I could get to sleep, as I had to leave around 4:30 am. Not what I expected.

Iffy

The rooms do not look like what the pictures show on hotel.com. There are no dressers in the room and the bedding needs desperate attention. No mattress cover and covers are worn and as holes
One night stand  small table with 2 chairs. The bedding is very worn
This is what you have for your clothes.
