Exceptionally clean and quiet. Room was in excellent condition and no equipment issues. Heating and cooling were excellent. Only fault was lack of hot water to the room over a 3 day period. Could only get like warm after 10-15 minutes.

Diane

Liked: Cleanliness
We stayed at this hotel because of the pool, traveling with a team of kids. There was no heat in the pool area and it was freezing. Our team kids couldn't use the pool. Also, the two staff members running the continental breakfast in the morning were over the top. Made a very rude comment to me and did not treat other team parents well when asking for something that ran out or was low. They guard the breakfast area and take their jobs very seriousness.
