Good Stay, Will be Better When the Remodel is Done
Pros:

Overall we had a good stay. They are in the middle of a remodel. Our room was a remodeled ones, however the TV wasn’t programmed with the remote and it said there was no service to it. The parts of the hotel that aren’t finished or are in the process of being remodeled show age and wear.

Satisfied.
Pros:

We were on the fourth floor, directly across from the elevator and the ice machine, convenient. The room was clean and comfortable. I liked the extra hooks in the bathroom and the bowed shower curtain. Missed a shelf in tub/shower and NO grab bar upon exiting shower. Staff was polite and responsive. Breakfast adequate. Hot water for tea was not hot however. Had to re-warm in microwave. Is there a gym? Not sure. My card would not open that door, no sign for it though there is a small but inviting pool outside. Too cold to use it this trip, 9-11 October.

Pros:

The layout of the hotel and the parking lot did not make sense. Parking was at the very end of the hotel and the main entrance was at the front. There was a door at the end for parking lot entrance and there was a single elevator at that point that was in less than decent condition. Since there was very little foot traffic going by the front dest the staff was basically asleep. The main good points were the room was newly remodeled and the breakfast was decent. I will book there again if the price is good.
