Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was extremely helpful and courteous in helping us transfer to another room on our last night. The rooms were very clean. Our first room didnt have hot water for showers but it was still comfortable and warm...the 2nd room had nice hot water for the shower. We loved the beds and linens...more comfortable than most hotels. Great breakfast options as well. House keeping staff got us a shower safety mat promptly when requested. Handicap parking was conveniently located. Our TV had great viewing options. We were hoping that the indoor pool had warmer water than it did but it is winter. Over a four star rating with a star less because of the issues with warm water. We would come back and stay again.
