Really liked property in past stays. Won't be back again.
Pros:

Good location. Fair breakfast with good juice. In past omelets were free. Now charge 6.99 each. way overpriced.

Cons:

Waited over 10 minutes before anyone at front desk to check us in even when called the property. Outside door didn't work most of the week. TV never worked. Breakfast check-in different every day. Internet down two days and was just told "You'll just have to use your data". No elevator. No water or towels in exercise room for 5 of 7 days. Only 1 treadmill working.

Very little restful sleep.
Pros:

Great breakfast. Beautiful clean facility. Great location

Cons:

Worst mattress I have ever tried to sleep upon. My wife concurs. Very soft and sank in several inches. Woke up 6 times and tossed and turned all night.

Pratique et bon rapport qualité prix.
Pros:

Les équipements de l'hôtel avec son lobby combinant salon, piscine et restaurant Grill est très original et plutôt bien agencé. Le personnel à la réception est très professionnel et sympa. Le grand parking avec divers accès est pratique, bien que proche de l'autoroute, on se sent en sécurité et au calme.

Cons:

L'hôtel a tous les équipements nécessaires pour une bon séjour, cependant la décoration générale est désuète.

Pros:

The breakfasts was good, the beds were good.

Cons:

There was no elevator to get to the 2nd floor so I had to carry my very heavy suitcase up stairs. The bathroom was tiny. The swimming pool area was seemed dark and not enough lighting

Pros:

Sehr gepflegtes Hotel in Nähe der Universität. Das Foyer ist gewaltig und gemütlich. Pool war offen. Gutes Frühstück. Für deutsche Kritiker: es gibt Porzellangeschirr. Also nichts zu meckern.
