The room was large and comfortable. Breakfast was very good, competitive with more expensive brands. Not many restaurants in walking distance, but plenty in a short drive. All in all quite good.

The carpet was nasty and should have been replaced a long time ago. The room smelled probably because of the carpet. If the carpet was replaced this probably would be a good place to stay. Now, cannot recommend. there are better options. I would give the staff a zero for allowing this room to be occupied in this condition.

This is our seventh or eighth time staying here, in as many weeks, and the entire staff have been top notch! The rooms are always clean and comfortable. We will probably be back again, in view of our circumstances, and have no doubts our stay will be just as pleasurable.

Overall was an amazing stay! the only thing was when we checked in they didn’t warn us or let us know when housekeeping usually checks rooms and when housekeeping came my friend and I were sleeping as we got to the hotel at 3am and the door was opened and it scared me awake. Other than that, the room was nice, the breakfast was really nice too and the staff were kind

Sad
Unfortunately the ARC has gone down the last year or so. Something is always broken in the room, seems like they are letting it go and not repairing or updating. Sad, really enjoyed it when they first took over.
