Very good hotel and location
The two attendants at night when we checked in were both friendly and hospitable. The lady the next morning won’t even say good morning and won’t even smile even if I approached her at the counter with a smile and a greeting

Would not recommend
The only thing that was good was the breakfast. The chef was amazing. Room had no thermostat, the old unit under the window didn’t work; only blew cold air; so room was cold during the day then around midnight they cranked to the heat. Room was spacious, beds were very uncomfortable. We both woke up in the morning (after tossing and turning all night) with a headache and my husband had an extremely sore back. We told the staff at the front desk and they did not care; as for the heat they said “oh, we will let maintenance know” ended up checking out a day early, losing our money (was better then going through another night like that) and they didn’t apologize, or offer us a different room, just said they wouldn’t refund any money and asked for the money for parking the one night. Would not recommend this hotel at all!

The room and sheets were clean. The bathroom was clean. The quality of the breakfast was good. The room was serviced every day. I arrived an hour early, but they didn't do the check-in and said to come back at 3:30 for the check-in. The parking fee was not specified on the site, and at the time of check-in, they charged me 15 dollars for parking.
