We loved the club lounge. Coffee and tea was available all day and until 10:30 pm. We would meet our friends there in the AM and plan our day. Some evenings they have a happy hour and that was nice too. The staff was wonderful, the place clean. Our only complaint was that they were having wifi problems so we were without it for a day or two. I would stay there again.

Very disappointing hotel to stay at. Their internet was shut down the entire two days we stayed and you could only text them. Their phones didn't work and still don't so you could not talk to them. And the bathroom had no fan so the small bathroom steamed up quickly. Also, we left a feather pillow on the bed and they could not find it the same day we checked out. It was an expensive pillow so it is obvious someone kept it.

We are very pleased with the hotels. The renovation is very clean and beautiful. The room is quiet, clean and has everything you need and even more. Thank you very much to the hotel management! The SPA is very small.
