We had one issue. We requested a non-smoking room and were given a room that had been a smoking room last year and then converted to a non-smoking at the beginning of this year. Room still smelt of smoke. Staff did all they could to help us but ultimately they couldn't do much for us since my wife needed a room downstairs and all other non-smoking rooms were taken.

Bring your own pillows!!!

The bed was adequate however the pillow was so hard it gave me an earache and no other choice of pillow. The walls were so thin we could hear upstairs and rooms on both sides as well as outside noise.The breakfast had hard boiled eggs as only protein offered. Very misleading to rate this 9.0 wonderful.

Ok, but too close to freeway

Ok, for one night. This hotel was too close to the freeway - you could throw a rock and hit it. Loud from the traffic there.
