What drew me here was the inexpensive parking compared to other hotels but I was very impressed with everything and highly recommend. It was pretty inexpensive for a night so I wasn't sure what to expect. The room was SO nice though, we loved how there was a separate living room and bedroom with a tv in both areas as well as a full kitchen. We went to the bar and the bartender was wonderful. I cannot say enough about the breakfast the next day. By far the best continental breakfast I've ever had, even compared to very expensive fancy hotels. We went down close to when it was over so figured it would be unimpressive and cold. They had it fully stocked all the way up to the end and SO many choices and ones you can't find anywhere else, like the breakfast sandwiches to go, oatmeal bar with tons of toppings. Can't wait to stay again for a longer visit.

The manager was very kind and helped with all of our needs. But wish we didn’t have any needs in the first place. Tub water constantly flowing, no wires connecting the tv, unable to use, left over food and drinks from the previous guest. So I know the place wasn’t cleaned properly in the first place. Garbage everywhere behind the tv dresser. Couch was terribly stained, felt uncomfortable to even seat on it the way it looked so I threw the extra sheet over it. Booked for the hot tub but the hot tub broke the day we got there. Locations was great though for why I was in town. Close to downtown and to many activities near the city. Zoo, aquarium etc.
