I really liked this hotel. it was very clean, the staff was very nice and helpful, the rooms were clean and well kept. They had a Kruege Coffee pot, so I could bring my pods from home. The bathroom was very clean and they had quality shampoo and conditioner. They have a free breakfast and selections include Gluten Free Selections. I know they have a larger selection, but had to cut back because of COVID. Definitely would go back there next time I am in town.

Overall Score4.0/ 5
Everything about the experience was very good. However they are making improvements to the property and there was no outdoor access to the wing I was staying at. I had quite a long walk to reach my room with lots of luggage etc. I would stay again and hope the improvements are completed soon.

Overall Score4.0/ 5
Called to cancel our stay, got hung up on once, called back and got transferred 3 timesi, put on hold for 20 minutes, and finally gave up. Bottom line, I am out the cost of the hotel, as I was required to prepay. I will not use Hotel Planner again.
