"The hotel was okay. I stayed in different (exceptional) hotel in the area a week earlier and wish I would have gone back there. This one was just okay, it’s more of a standard hotel - almost like a Holiday Inn feeling. Nothing extra or special about it. The price at the previous hotel was not that different and leaps and bounds above in setting and amenities."
