I didn't like the fact of the heating. It was cold in our and our son's room. We were not offered a heater. Learned about the heater after a microwave was delivered to our room by maintenance and he offered a heater.

The history of the property was interesting. Searching for something other than positive, I noted that the branches of at least one tree were rubbing against the roof of the building and should be trimmed to avoid damage.

I enjoyed my stay during flag football Nationals. It was walkable distance to Richardson stadium which is the primary reason I booked it. Breakfast was decent. I was a bit disappointed that the restaurant served only breakfast. Staff was very pleasant and went out of their way to help me dry my blanket. It was a particularly rainy and cold weekend. I really appreciated the extra touch. It is a bit on the pricey side though. The hotel is very quiet. Overall I am very pleased with my stay.
