This is a criticism of Expedia, not the property. When I booked the stay, the room said it had “multiple views”. However, that apparently meant a view of a wall and a driveway. That is not a view. There were unfortunately no other rooms available for my boyfriend’s bday getaway so we had a view of nothing. Thanks Expedia.

Hi Christina,I am deeply sorry to hear you were disappointed with your stay due to the information presented on the third-party site. We do hope you return, and we have a chance to showcase what our property truly has to offer.

We are grateful for the upgrade at the desk, after hearing it was a 42 year anniversary. We thought the coffee maker was complicated, and rendered either espresso or Americano, neither of which we care for. A Keurig would have been more suitable. We have resolved to bring our own coffee maker in the future.

The staff was friendly and personable. We very much enjoyed the free parking in a secure garage . The room was very comfortable, and my husband and I slept well. Our only draw back was the Nespresso machine. We are coffee drinkers and it was very hard to find any coffee on the premise. Unless you were in the restaurant. We would have rather had a Keurig or a small coffee maker.
