We liked that the hotel accommodated our large dog. Otherwise, our stay was just okay. Hotel is showing its age. Breakfast not very good. The only hot entree was waffles. Otherwise cold cereal, yogurt, bagels and muffins. Coffee was instant from a machine, not brewed.

It was ok for basic needs but overpriced for the type of room, breakfast bar was really basic, coffee/water machine turned off by 10pm and the property could definitely use some freshening up. Front desk Staff was pleasant. Hallways and eating area air temperature was not comfortable and had a musty odor.

Ok for one night. Everything in line for what you pay. Breakfast is very basic. Did get a lot of traffic noise until later in the evening. Could smell the pool / hot tub chemicals in the common areas…little annoying. Bedding and linens comfortable. Good tv with a good list of channels.
