Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort

Some things need improvement

Pros: room was neat, clean, furnishings updated and breakfast hot items were a pleasant surprise. Cons: not the greatest soundproofing between rooms, bedside light kept going out and front desk just told us to use the other lights in the room, front desk clerk on checkin was okay but not very friendly.

Fitted our needs; very clean, close to activities, very friendly employees and answered all questions. Could not get the room coffee pot to work, but was close to the breakfast room and got it there, along with lots of choices for breakfast.

Disliked: Staff & service

Nice, for this type of hotel - all room open directly from the parking lot. Room is small, but adequate. The main light is on a timer which is annoying, I don’t want it going off automatically. Breakfast area is small and they suggest that if it is full taking it outside - not very appealing.

Tabletop was a bit sticky on the small dining table and toilet was not secure to the floor, but our stay was good overall. Yes we would stay there again.

Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Located convenient to all the shopping yet just enough out of the heart of it all that you are not bothered by traffic issues. Access in and out was very easy.
