The entrance/parking lot had too much ice that should have been salted a lot more. The staff were very nice and willing to accommodate. Thanks for a last minute reservation that kept us safe during the storm!

The young man at the front desk was very polite. I appreciate that. The temperature in our room when we arrived was set to 90°! That was odd. The bathroom door closes if you use a little bit of muscle. The breakfast had a variety of foods. Staff was friendly. The hotel has a very convenient location and was more than adequate for our needs. Thank you.
