We really liked the King room with extra space. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was just so-so for us, but that’s what continental breakfasts are these days. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Pricing was great as it was off season. Would stay again if we could get off season prices next time.

Overall our stay was good. Minor issues caused me to give a lower rating. One elevator wasn’t working. And the continental breakfast was one of the worst I’ve ever had. The food was cold, pancake machine wasn’t working, and the oatmeal wasn’t prepared at 8:30 am. The staff were nice and friendly.

The bar in our shower was rusted off, we had one light that was burnt out, one elevater is down and the other stopped on every single floor, even when no one wanted on and our last night from 6-11 there was a large group of kids with several adults running up and down the hall, banging on walls, knocking on our door and screaming. The adults were clearly smoking pot because as soon as we opened our door the smell was so strong. Location was super convenient and the staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was good.
