It seemed a little silly to have to pay for parking when there were hardly any cars in the garage and there was ample free street parking. Otherwise, the stay was great—the room and beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and modern.

Gave us the wrong room (we paid for a balcony but were put into a groub floor room with no outdoor space, overlooking an ugly empty pool) and we needed to be moved, but they did it without much fuss

Staff was nice and all updated areas were beautiful. The older areas are in dire need of updates still. Especially the elevator. We went up and the door stayed open for half the trip up. Not a fun feeling! The hot tub was not available which was a bummer. Breakfast was actually pretty good too.

Construction relegated the check in to a store room off of the parking lot. Room was clean but lacked a decent comfortable chair to sit in. Breakfast was good.

The room was fine, a little carpet is preferrable over cold tile floors. The bathroom needs better ventilation. Two chairs on the porch would work better than one for a visiting couple. The staff was friendly and helpful.
