"Good for the price, decent room, a little run down. Good options for breakfast. While the AC in the rooms works well, the rest of the hotel is not air conditioned, so the lobby for breakfast is stuffy and warm. Laundry machines were down while we were there which was disappointing since we had sports uniforms to wash. No ice on our floor, had to go down to the first floor whenever we needed ice. Probably would choose elsewhere next time."

"Beautiful facility with an amazing view. Our suite had a very large balcony to enjoy a drink and conversation with company. Great for small groups or à small family. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Good parking on the property with plenty of space, although not great to turn around for LARGE vehicles. Other than the carpet, which could have used a shampoo, everything was clean and tidy. We loved our stay at this facility and would like to visit again."
