Spend the extra to stay somewhere that maintains the property. Had 2 stays at front and back of a vacation,2 rooms, 1 of which had beds going in different directions with no nightstands to make them fit into the room. The other was as cramped with no room to pass each other at the foot of the beds. Location=great. Guest Services employees=great. Hotel=would not stay again

Made a reservation through Expedia, several months prior. Arrived at 130 am after a day of flying and travel. Only to find their "system had lost the reservation ". Sorry, nothing we can do, good luck. Slept in the rental car, as no hotel had a room at 2am on a Saturday morning.

The hotel was very clean. Breakfast was good. The staff was exceptional. Would haven been nice to have a separate ice machine for the hotel guests instead of having to go into the restaurant / bar area to get ice from a staff member. Enjoyed the live music at the bar on Fri and Sat nights.
