the included breakfast was not good, eggs/sausage/potatoes were barely warm. muffins seemed a bit doughy. no one cleaning up tables after use. Parking was tight due to 2 vehicles taking up 12 parking spaces (6 spaces each) for the weekend.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities

We like the convenience of location, only a few minutes away from family members. What we didn’t like was we were given the wrong room from what we requested & paid for. Once it was corrected, we were placed in a room at the 4th floor where wallpaper in the hallway is peeling off and one of the lamp shades were damaged with rips. Not what we expected and definitely have not experienced before.

Would have given 5 stars other than the hot tub was broken and there was a dead small bug (assuming it was a tick) in the tub. Other than that beds were comfortable, amentities were good, and breakfast was good.

The stay was nice. Clean hotel and a good breakfast. Never a working hot tub each time i have went over the last year, the pool is small but has been available 8 of 10 times to use. Mainly only interacted with cleaning staff and breakfast staff and they were all nice.
