Absolutely loved our stay here in this beautiful decorated hotel in the suburbs. It was easy to locate, calm city. The restaurant on a friday and a saterday night gets VERY BUSY. But that didnt stop us from ordering our drinks, and plenty of people coming and going dinning. The staff at the hotel and restaurant are all VERY friendly and helpful and accommodating. The beds were comfortable. Hot water never runs out in the showers! Nice and spacy and clean. There was a beautiful fireplace in the lobby, and the salt water pool was SO warm and nice to be in. The hot tub was hot and relaxing. Everything was top totch and i am very happy with our choice to stay here.

Some positives, some negatives

The 2nd floor smelled like smoke as you got off the elevator and went down the hall (in the carpet, etc - not just like someone had just smoked), beds were a little too hard and pillows were thick and stiff, no softer options. Bathroom sink wouldn’t drain and the shampoo & conditioner bottles were tiny (maybe 2”) and extremely difficult to get the contents out. Was nice to have a restaurant on site, although pricey and side item wasn’t as ordered. Good variety for breakfast. Was advertised as having two pools but there is only 1 small, cold pool. A little odd to be swimming/enjoying the hot tub as people are sitting around the whole pool area eating their meals as the pool is in the middle of the breakfast eating area and restaurant overflow seating. Convenient location right off a main street with a McDonalds in the parking lot. Hotel parking is a bit limited. The town has a cute downtown area/town square.

Perfect!

Everyhing was great! A wonderful experience. The restaurant in the hotel was also exceptional, and full every evening. A really nice place. The only flaw is the cleaning service where you have to tell them to come and what to clean. I forgot to tick "clean the toilet" so they came in the room, did the other things but didn't clean the toilet.

Due to foggy weather I could not make the reservation. Tried to cancel but was charged for the one night stay. I’m very disappointed in Expedia. May not use you again.
