We found the staff to be very helpful and pleasant. The included breakfast was excellent, way above the usual included breakfast in most places. Our only concerns were to do with maintenance of the property. There are a number of things that are in need of repair. Over all we enjoyed our stay and the beds were very comfotable.

Enjoyed the roomy suite, but the WI FI was intermittent, at best. The restaurant was outstanding, but the free breakfast was subpar. Front office staff were friendly; some were better able to answer our questions than others.

The room was clean and comfortable; however, it had lots of flies as if the cleaning staff maybe leaves the door to outside open while cleaning. The breakfast was very much lacking appeal, and we ended up going elsewhere for breakfast and coffee.

I stayed in a studio room and it was great as a single traveler. The shower was large and easy to figure out. The restaurant on the property had great choices, I had the quesadilla and it was great.

The bed and pillows were comfortable but the rooms were pretty outdated. Cheap upgrades on an old hotel. Woke up to a giant cricket in the bathroom. The breakfast was subpar. We did eat dinner in the restaurant and it was very good. All in all it was fine but doesn’t compete with nicer hotels.
