Basic, clean room. Decent breakfast w/hot offerings (eggs, bacon, fully automated/hands off pancake machine) and the usual cold offerings: bagels, bread, muffins, instant oatmeal, bananas. One thing though-- there was NO HAIR DRYER in the room, which I hadn't expected. So, be forewarned. This hotel has NO HAIR DRYERs.

The hot tub has not be working for months. They are still giving out slips with hot tub hours during checkin so I didn't realize until I took my kids down in the evening that it was a block of ice instead of a hot tub. The managers are aware of the issue and have not made any efforts to fix the amenity (which is prominently advertised on their website). I checked out early and went somewhere else, but they refused to give a refund. They were pretty nasty about it. I will never book there again. Also the coffee machine was broken.

Wonderful stay. A lot of snow came during my stay. Parking lot was not cleared of snow which made getting to my car very wet and messy.
