We ended up having to stay an extra night due to our exam being rescheduled. The hotel staff are extremely kind. They allowed us to stay in our same room. Security staff are always pleasant but very professional. The cleaning staff are always working and checking in to make sure we were ok. We definitely will be returning. The hotel is very close to everything and it was very clean. It always smells fresh for an older property.

Loved the space and location of the hotel. Breakfast was amazing at the restaraunt! Did not like the mandatory clientelle often visibly under substance influence. It is a pity, and not a fault of owners.

Hotel was clean and seemed well maintained. Parking lot is NOT very secure and the unsavory characters begging for money and cigarettes were a definite problem. Excellent views, large rooms, lots of homeless beggars.

Very VERY disappointed! I booked 2 rooms for the night of Saturday September 28/24 for my daughters 13th birthday. We invited 10 friends over to swim from 3pm-7pm. Upon my checkin i was informed that the swimming pool had been privately booked for another childs birthday party. Thus, my daughter and her friends, as well as the guests in EVERY OTHER ROOM IN THE HOTEL would not be allowed to use their swimming pool from 3pm-7pm. Seeing as no advance notice was given that the pool would be closed for any reason, we were all EXTREMELY annoyed and upset. I then had to pivot and find something else to do with my daughter and her friends, so we took them bowling. They had a fun time, but wre extremely dissappointed they were unable to swim. I was offered no compensation for the extra costs incurred ($300) due to having to find an alternative to the swimming pool which is an advertised amenity of the hotel and included in the cost i already paid. I hope that management of this hotel will contact me and offer up some for of compensation for the fact they closed off an amenity of the hotel that myself and every other horel guest paid for the use of in order to make a few extra bucks, qhile not informing us. I would have made arraignments at another property had i kmown in advance
