Heat pump did not work properly on automatic. First night it was set on Automatic. Woke up and was sweating. Had to stay up about 1/2 hour and manually controlled the heat pump by putting it on cool and shutting it off. the room was cold when I got up. Bathroom sink only had warm water from the hot faucet. I expected better. .

The hotel facility was very nice. The breakfast offered was a nice variety, however, everything hot was very peppery. The one "complaint" was just about every time I went to the front desk no one was around.

Very nice place. Spacious, clean and a great breakfast. My shower wouldn’t get hot, just warm, but I notified the front desk so I’m sure they’ll remedy that. Would highly recommend it.

Property was ok. Breakfast wasn’t too bad but they ran out of a few items. My toilet clogged as soon as we used it once in the room. I would not recommend booking through Expedia! I booked for three rooms with 2 queen beds. Under the reservation that is what i selected but when I called for early check-in I was advised that I had reservations for 3 handicap rooms. Not sure what the disconnect was but totally inconvenient and luckily they could Make the change although our rooms were apart.
