Would stay again, breakfast service can be better

Reception was great, easy check in lots of parking. Rooms clean and tidy. Strange layout with the TV the opposite end of thr room but the mirror right over the bed. Felt a little odd. Breakfast was slow service, staff more interested in chatting and laughing in the kitchen, but was nice when it came out.

The hotel is OK. The beds are not comfortable, why not invest in some new mattresses? There was no heating on in the hotel in the afternoon (it was February). You could hear noises from adjacent rooms (fortunately they were fairly quiet). Nonetheless a reasonably priced hotel. Would we stay again, No...

Minimal heating ruined the visit.

The heating is on a very limited timer that is controlled by the hotel. Weather cold enough for cars to be iced up overnight. Very cold in the bedroom. Reported after the first night but there was no difference the following night. It wasn't a pleasant stay.

We arrived early, but staff was super considerate and despite the fact that we had four rooms, immediately found a space for us, even made sure the rooms were close to each other. Breakfast was AMAZING. Again, terrific staff. Those folks deserve raises.
