Great location. Room 222 had a noisy air conditioner (hummed like an old refrigerator) and the single story ballroom next door was too noisy after 10:00 to drown out.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Several things added to my not enjoying my stay: one light (entry) didn't work, making it hard to read the thermostat although it didn't work so ... There is no way to leave any light on at night due to the design of the room - it seems silly.
