My only complaint was the smoking outside of our room. I opened the door to get something out of my car and smoke rolled in my room. The neighboring rooms sit outside of their rooms and smoke cigarettes. I think they need a designated smoking area away from rooms. It was very clean and the staff was very nice.

Periodically throughout stay a smell of sewage would come through vent in bathroom .. Only two bath towels two wash cloth and one hand towel for room . The dispensing soaps in shower hardly worked . The traffic on Main Street made it hard to sleep . The continental breakfast was terrible . Over all it was one of the worst hotels I have stayed in and one of the most expensive . It was terrible
