Carolyn O. Friends - 3/13/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Room nice and spacious. Pricing getting in the high bracket. Need to ask people if they want a walk in shower or one over the bath

Paulette Z. Couples - 3/13/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Hotel needs serious updating. It is somewhat shabby. Water splattered all over the bathroom during shower but it was nice to have a bathtub.

Mark F. Business - 3/12/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Love the location. Parking worked well. Room requested was not correct when i arrived, had to come down and change it. Room service seems very late in the day for an extended stay, assume i could arrange this earlier with a call to house keeping. Moved from Corporate booking to a private booking and struggled several with the room key not working.
