"The room was clean and the housekeepers provided excellent service. My only complaint was the beds. The mattress was old and you can hear the spring pop. Other than that, the stay was good. I would stay again because of the convenience. I did have a good night sleep until I heard the spring pop. Didn’t use the pool or hot tub this trip."

"The breakfast here is really good in comparison to other hotels (fresh made omelets are always a win) even if the rest of the fare was the average you get anywhere else. Service was good. Our room was clean and spacious, and although a big dated (older furniture, older mini-fridge, old style bathroom, the hand-rest of the sofa was peeling) it was a comfortable stay (except for the pillows that were not great)."
