It was a busy weekend with graduations....We had reserved a room with two beds (a year ago), but got one king? size bed instead. It couldn't be changed, but my daughter and i were very comfortable and satisfied with the room. Breakfast was late is getting set up, one thing came out at a time. coffee machine wasnt working at first. But I was told there was a new person working, so we gave her some slack and never complained. Overall I rated 5 stars and was very happy with accomodations.

The room was super clean, continental breakfast was great-many options. It was quiet and staff were pleasant. There is a 50.00 incidental added to your bill, which was fine, I would just recommend telling the customer that and explaining it. Overall, excellent room and hotel.

Galicia

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property itself nice, but common sense of having a room, or a direct visible desk to store suit cases for paying customers before or after they stay is the #2 thing that dรฉtermines what her a hotel is good or not after cleanliness. Do not tell your customers they cannot keep 1 suitcase behind a desk or in a storage room. This is a hotel that people only visit because they are from Canada or in the city and they want a weekend getaway, so of course we are all not at all close to home.

We arrived and was hit with a $50 "incidentals" charge that was not disclosed prior. The staff was unfriendly. The toilet in our room clogged. When we told the front desk about it we were handed a plunger! Not the service I was expecting from a Holiday Inn.
