Overall Rating:
We have stayed here before and were happy with it. However, we were very unhappy with the poor selection of breakfast food. It was clean, but for the price, thought it would be a little nicer since we had a hot tub.
Aug. 6, 2008
Overall Rating:
Comfortable room, but perhaps a bit over-priced. The lower corridor smelled of stale cigarette smoke.
May. 20, 2008
Overall Rating:
I was disappointed with this hotel because the room I received was a smoking room, the hotel was not full and they would not honor my request for a non smoking room. The continental breakfast included old fruit, stale bakery goods, and old coffee.
