Will never be back nor will my team who used to stay there.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

I was overcharged for an additional night for both rooms after I notified them a month ahead of time. I was up for my nephews funeral and they charged me an additional $500. I let everyone at the service what they did and not to stay there in the future. 400 people attended so with my post on social media, better business bureau I will get my money back tenfold which is somewhat satisfying.

Pros:

The staff members were pleasant and responsive. Other guests were pleasant and quiet. The location was perfect. The room was clean if the furnishings were worn and the amenities limited, but reasonable for the price.
