The room was great with the kitchen area. Breakfast was great! Room was spacious. Our first night there was no room in the parking garage so we had to park in the hospital lot across the street, however parking there was slightly cheaper than at the hotel.

Better last year

Our stay was okay overall. They only had one elevator working, so it took forever to get to and leave the room. They were sold out this week. It was frustrating. Stairs are fine, but not with young kids who do not have the stamina to climb up to the floor in which we were staying. Housekeeping failed to leave us TP and coffee (wanted both each day, lol) each time they did a “tidy-up.” I always had to go and fetch these from the front desk, which never had both in stock. So inconvenient. They never left enough towels; 2 towels is not enough for 4 people. Beware that the pool now closes at 8 pm, and that’s barely enough time to get back after 5pm, go and eat, and actually have time to swim. Otherwise, the room was clean and most of the staff were friendly. Sadly, I will probably look for a different hotel when we come back next time.

Cool stay, no major complaints the only thing I disliked that wasn’t detailed upon booking was the ridiculous parking not only is it on a completely different building across the street/next door it’s also an additional $22 per night only for 1 vehicle so we had 2 vehicles & they don’t offer additional parking so we had to find parking elsewhere up the street. I’m a very experienced traveler & I’ve never experienced this whole parking ordeal I would’ve definitely booked elsewhere had I know this ahead of time. Overall tho the hotel was clean & the stay were nice
