Everything was great! It was a nice and relaxing stay. We would definitely be staying again! However, the breakfast and coffee were a little disappointing, but we will still stay again!
This was a great property to stay at! The room was clean and beds were comfortable. The only thing I would suggest- the windows in the common areas could use a good cleaning!
Very nice hotel, and appreciate the pet-friendly aspect. Disappointed that we did not know, prior to booking and check-in that the pool was unavailable.
I love staying here, I’ve stayed here numerous times and never had an issue. Front desk is always friendly & offers what floor I want or area of the building. Tells me the amenities and breakfast times. Bedding is comfortable, rooms are clean and modern. No complaints.
Staff at the concierge desk is great. The room was clean and I appreciate the selection of pillows. I will be coming back again when in town visiting family! Definitely recommend.
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.
