Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff were extremely nice and the room was modern. The only negatives was a dirty sofa and the reception/bar area was extremely cold. A lot of windows in a very cold climate.
The room was great. The size was nice Loved the bathroom. The lobby looks great, the staff was nice and friendly. Loved the location. Great place to get away and relax.
The first day we went down at 9,10 and it was over at 9 am, second day we made it the 3rd day there was aproblem in the kitchen and no breakfast and we left a day earlier and both the hotel and Expedia refused to give us a credit, so not a winner experience.
