We had a very nice stay! The hotel was beautifully decorated and our room was very comfortable! The staff that we encountered was very nice! We were in town for a hockey game and the property was conveniently located for it. If I had any complaints, it would be... for the continental breakfast, there were three cereal choices plus an oatmeal, but none of them were gluten-free. I have Celiac Disease...I could have ate the eggs and potatoes they had though, so it wasn't like there wasn't anything that should have been "safe". I always pack my own food, just in case, so it was fine...but if the hotel is looking for any ways to improve, that would be the only thing I would suggest.
