Good value, but hidden fees.
Pros:

Room was large and good value for the price.

Cons:

I would have liked to know in advance that we’d be charged a parking fee for the car. I don’t like surprises. It might have affected our decision. And I definitely know it will affect our decision to stay in the future. We don’t like hidden costs. You only get one chance to make a first impression.

Very happy with our stay.
Pros:

Easy to get too. Very clean and large room. Being able to enter the room from inside the building was great due to weather.

We stayed for a tournament and the hotel was exactly what we needed.
Pros:

Breakfast was wonderful but was an additional cost. I enjoyed the layout of the hotel, it had an open commons area with lounge areas and the restaurant. The laundry facilities were wonderful.

Cons:

Was outdated. The pool was cold and had the be shut down during some of the stay for maintenance.

Watch out for added fees!
Pros:

I wasn't expecting a $16.00 per person charge for the standard, usually included, hotel breakfast. I also wasn't expecting a PARKING fee in their very own parking lot. The rooms were fine but I could have gone elsewhere, had the same level room and NOT been this aggravated.
