Room I reserved was no longer available due to maintenance issues. Since I booked thru expedia I was told they had no means to contact me. I was offered a king sized bed with roll away instead of the two queens I reserved I did not pay almost $200 to sleep on a rollaway. The room we received was fine. Two breakfast vouchers were issued to compensate. Soap and bodywash dispensers were mixed up and after calling the front desk the lady told me to just switch them out myself which I wasn‘t able to the were stuck. Frontdesk person was not very approachable at check in she just shuffled thru a binder for a while until I asked her what the issue was that‘s when I was told the room was no longer available. It could have been handled better.

the bed was very comfortable as was the room... i however did notice a few things that I was not quite impressed with. 1. the grout around the shower could use a good clean and 2. when we went to go get ice in the hotel the bucket that they had provided in the room had some mold growing in it. but other than that this hotel worked perfectly for a weekend get away .

The place and location is nice. Unfortunately we booked our stay for 3 nights 4 days and the cleaning was disappointing. We kept asking for towels, shower gel etc. Only once they came to grab garbages out the room. I felt I wasn’t taken care of at all!

Everything was above the expectations. I was shown breakfast was included prior to booking but still required to pay separately for it. So hotel is a bit pricier than most in the area.
