Room was just okay. There was no operable elevator and we had to schlep our suitcase up the stairs. Breakfast area was very tiny, food was not hot, floor and tables were sticky and the two small garbage receptacles were overflowing. AND…we paid $230 for the room and we expected better.

The staff was friendly. The room was clean and redone each day. The breakfast was ok. I prefer bacon over sausage. I prefer Swedish waffles, not mini pancakes. The pool and exercise room were clean and nice. Overall, a very good experience.
