The bed was comfortable, suite was nice and big, huge bathroom, everything very clean. The only issue was noise. We stayed on a Saturday night and they had two weddings happening. This of course meant drunk people talking very loudly in the hallways at 1:30 in the morning. Id stay there again, but would ask ahead if any weddings were booked.

Aesthetically nice, but quite disappointing otherwise. The bed was awful and felt like it's at least 20 years old. Light bulbs were out in the room. Everything was closed in the hotel (restaurant and bar).

For a 3.5 -5 star hotel it lacked service. Had a luxurious try hard flare but lacked the luxury. The AC lacked the coldness and at lowest settings 65 was a bummer. No complimentary anything. No water, mint, robe thank you card etc . Bed is on wheels/slid - it moved every time we accessed the bed. Only Two Large Towels even the Holiday Inn has more towels for their guests. No Parking either - had to use an alternate LOT for an overnight stay. There was no wow factor for a weekend getaway. Sorry for the raw review. Front desk was helpful, chipper and kind. Unfortunately for the rate and quality
