8/10 Good
"4 rather than 5 stars because the desk staff were not always available. Also we were there with another couple and sat in the lobby to play a game after dinner. While we were sitting there, an employee went through the closed breakfast room doors and shortly after that, we could smell strong cigarette smoke for quite a long time coming from that area. When we checked in, the desk clerk asked if we wanted both rooms charged to the card used to reserve the room and we asked to have the charges split between 2 cards. He ran my friend’s card, but when we arrived home we discovered that both rooms were charged to the reserving card. Other than these few things, we were pleased with everything else about our stay."

"Nice hotel and very good breakfast. Unfortunately, got to the hotel and we were told that the room we reserved (2 double beds) was not available. The gentlemen at the front desk said they were a -2, meaning they were oversold by 2 rooms. I instantly remembered a Seinfeld episode. The hotel was good at taking reservations but didn't understand the part about holding a reservation. Not a good look late at night."
