"The shower pressure was weak, but other than that it was perfect. Comfortable bed, nice jet tub for relaxing, gym and pool onsite. I wish they had guest laundry. Breakfast was good (waffle, cereal, eggs, yogurt, toast, etc)."
"Friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast buffet had hot/cold options but I was a bit disappointed that apples were the only fruit available on in July. That’s a minor complaint, though."
"My room, 120, smelled like dirty socks. Very musty. The maid threw away my ziplock bag I needed to store my medicine but the front desk was able to give me another one"
