Moldy awful hotel. Avoid it.
Cons:

We had booked a suite. When we entered the room it stank of mold. My wife and son immediately had an allergic reaction. The person at the front desk offered us two rooms instead, but the neighboring room on the first floor was even worse, and we could not enter, the smell was so bad. But that was what was available. The hotel refused to give us a refund, even though they failed to provide a habitable room. We're out over $350 because of their failure.

Overall it was a great experience.
Pros:

We liked the space in the room. Having two bedrooms and two bathrooms was perfect. We enjoyed the breakfast.

Cons:

One toaster at the continental breakfast. We believe a second toaster would be beneficial. We had to wait a long time to toast.

Honestly it was fine. Some other reviews had me nervous, but I would stay there again
Pros:

breakfast was fine - maybe more gluten free options would be nice but that is everywhere

Cons:

the couch was a little visually icky, but I wouldn't sit on any couch in any hotel room without covering it with a blanket or sheet anyway

I love the idea of this hotel and my stay there last spring was amazing. This Tomei was disappointed with the room and t
Pros:

I love that there were two bedrooms with two bathrooms and a kitchen. Perfect for our family.

Cons:

The hotel and room had a really bad smell. The hotel is also in need of remodeling. The chairs in the dining room/kitchen area of our suite were torn and “well used”.
