Location and staff were the stars.
Pros:

The staff was excellent. They were friendly and helpful the entire stay. Breakfast was really good. ($15.95 for the buffet was a good value).

Cons:

The beds were pretty broken down and furnishings were very worn. For the price-per night of $280 for a room with 2 queen beds seems pretty steep. We chose to stay here for the location as it is 7 minute drive to the Atrium Amphitheater .

Pros:

Overall the staff were very friendly and great customer service skills. Unfortunately, my negative issue was during check in. I paid for a room with a king size bed and was given a room with 2 Queen size beds . As per staff, I was told if I booked the room through a third party I have to take was is available. That is totally unacceptable and I respectfully request a refund difference because I paid for a room I didn’t receive

A beautiful hotel.more expensive than we normally pay since breakfast was not included
Pros:

Located near the soccer field. A very spacious suite with 2 queens. I love a living room!

Cons:

The shower water ran all over the bathroom even with a towel on the floor. My shoes got soaked and I could have fallen if I had not seen the water. All the towels got soaked to clean it up. The toilet does not run properly.

Pros:

Nice place. Very happy with the facilities and location. It was definitely an upgrade over many other areas, so was worth a few extra bucks. Beatrice at the front desk was especially accommodating and made sure our visit was great.
