The stay was amazing. Hotel was clean. We did have issues with tripping the GFI and losing power to our room. The only real complaint is it’s not very close to stored within walking distance. If you need a snack you’re at the mercy of purchasing the inflated hotel price $4.00 for a drink and another $4.00 for a candy bar. Something you would pay a total of $3.50 if you went into a store.

I appreciated the staff accommodating a late check out, and them being able to change our rooms when we encountered issues. The first room we got, the key card didn’t work so they gave us a different room. That room was not cleaned properly (bed not made, garbage in floor underneath bathroom sink, missing towel set etc). We had to change rooms again. The free breakfast was very simple, not well arranged or clean, and coffee was terrible. For a place that looks nice, we expected a better arranged breakfast spread.

Comfy stay, get breakfast elsewhere

The room was very comfortable for a few night stay. The breakfast could definitely be improved as it was all carbs and once it ran out it ran out (even before breakfast officially ended).
