"This is a pretty nice hotel overall. There were a few small housekeeping issues (wallpaper was peeling off near the bathtub and a few pieces of tile were missing from wall near the bathtub as well, the light when you first walk into the room was consistently flickering, etc.) Just small things. Definitely not a game changer. The front desk staff were very accommodating and the breakfast buffet was very good. A/C in the room was ice cold (which we like). We would definitely stay there again."
