The staff was very helpful and efficient. The room was clean and comfortable. Our only complaint was that the sheets and bed comforter seemed to be too short for the bed. We expect the bedding to reach our neck when we are sleeping but the bedding did not reach our and armpits. Breakfast was good. The staff kept everything stocked. When we needed ice, they happily provided.

This hotel was great. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The only problem I had was that I was double charged for bar drinks to my room and I had to call the hotel directly to rectify. Once I finally reached the hotel directly, they could see that the charge was a duplicate and fixed it accordingly. The breakfast was above average. There was some minor construction going on but the hotel staff friendliness made up for the minor inconvenience. I would stay here again.
