Loved staying here!
Pros:

Loved the fireplace in our room! It was so cozy and quiet in the room. The bed was also really comfortable.

Cons:

The fridge in our room was too cold and froze some of our food items. Breakfast was okay, just granola bars and fruit cups. We also tried out the sauna, but it didn’t get very hot.

I'll be back.
Pros:

The location is a plus. Lots of restaurants near by. However, due to the cold we used delivery. The room we were in was spotless. It had a new carpet and a gas fireplace. The lobby has a nice fireplace to enjoy. The people at the front desk were very helpful. They went out of their way to assist me. We were here for an event and the event room was well lighted and roomy. One door that led to a storage area was a little drafty, but did not affect me. The price was excellent for January.

Cheap but disgusting
Pros:

Price and location.

Cons:

Our room was seriously dated. As in old and a bit gross. Smelly old chair in the room. Wallpaper coming off the walls and some strange fablic- like curtains hanging from the the ceiling down the walls about 6 inches down. Too freaked out to look behind them to see what they were hiding!

Disappointing, over priced, not what we saw online.
Pros:

The only thing I have nice to say is that the staff there were friendly and kind.

Cons:

There was nothing that I really liked at all. This place was at best a minor step up from a hotel that has a door directly to the outside. The room was not very inviting, the beds were questionable, the ventilation for the room was inadequate. There was someone else's hair still in the bathroom, the room chairs looked like they were ready to fall apart and have never been cleaned. The pictures online do not exude or even come close to what this place looked like. Expectations were higher for sure than what was presented to us. There is no smoking in the building however it smelled like the entire hall we were on was smoking weed. While we did end up staying for the one night (mainly because we could not find someplace better to stay short of in our vehicle for the night) I will never stay at this location again.
