Very Nice

The holtel rooms are new, very nice, and clean. However, if you are fragrance sensitive, beware. The hallways and rooms have a heavy floral odor, that almost smells like thye are trying to cover something up.

Only complaint was the entrance security guard. Entered from the registration side and was “barked” at by him. He was informing us that we had to go through the scanner. No signs indicating this if you enter the way we did.
