Everything that you expect, however, smoking right outside the lobby entrance should be banned, outdoor smoking areas should be at least 25 feet away from entrances. Thanks!

Very nice hotel — clean, large rooms, and friendly staff. We had a problem with the air conditioner on the first night. Woke up sweating and found the air coming out was warm. This was fixed soon after reporting it the next morning. Also, had some loud and rowdy neighbors that first night. Not sure if the walls are really thin or if they were just extra loud! No issues the second night. Overall, very nice facility and we would stay again.

Absolutely gorgeous property! Very friendly and accessible staff. The only negative is that the TV in our bedroom didn’t work. The staff responded quickly but the problem was bigger than what they could do at the moment.

Only needed to stay over 1 night, and everything was gorgeous, luxurious. Great front desk staff. Only drawback was the bathroom ceiling fan whistled and whined all night. Would’ve asked for another room but too tired from a long day of flying/driving.
