"The room was clean and well maintained. The night and morning staff were both very friendly. The free breakfast setup looked decent. The price was very fair as well. My only complaint is that the hot tub was not working. This was especially disappointing for me as I specifically searched for a hotel with a hot tub so I could soak, so I was not too pleased to see that it was out of order."

"The breakfast was one of the best ever. Every choice you could imagine and plenty of each. The fruit was fresh, which is usually not the case when a bowl is set out at other hotels. I was late getting down at 9:55 a.m. and the desk gal said “Take as much time as you need; I can wait.“ So kind to accommodate me."
