"The room was very spacious and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a very pretty location and well maintained.

We were told there would be no maintenance person on until the following morning at 7:00 am. despite this being a fairly large hotel. Because the hotel was fully occupied, we could not move rooms."
