"Everything was great, however a bar was advertised but the bar was only open for special occasions. We had a junior suite with 2 bedrooms. A suite implies a “sitting area” but the room was just a bathroom, hallway and 2 bedrooms. Nowhere to “hang out”. The parking was really nice and easy to get your car whenever you needed it. "
