The only thing was that the pancake machine was not dialed in so they were under done and gummy. Fresh fruit was a welcome addition and the size of the milk was great not having to pour it out of a pitcher was nice too. Staff was friendly and courteous.

This hotel appears to be in the process of being updated. The water in the shower is either scalding or freezing. The room was quite large. The sheets kept popping off the bed and the luggage rack literally fell apart as we were trying to move our things into the elevator. The check in staff was excellent.

When we went to check in, e were told that our reservation had been cancelled at 3 that afternoon. We did not cancel our reservation. They had no more rooms available that night so we were stranded. Someone needs to be accountable for this.

remodeling happens

We got there and found out the hotel use under major remodeling. Lobby hallways had sheetrock and light dust throughout. Not a deal breaker because it is an improvement. Just unfortunate. very friendly staff and very comfortable beds. Also, very windy day and there was a howling through our window possibly part of the remodel.
