Słabe śniadanie
Cons:

Obok drzwi wejściowych do pokoju była lodówka, która całą noc hałasowała. Śniadanie oznaczone jako wyjątkowe, a było to zwykłe śniadanie: jeden rodzaj mrożonych bajgli, jeden sok, jedno mleko i płatki. Do tego jeden dżem i masło orzechowe. Obsługa wieczorna bardzo miła (pani blondynka), natomiast rano (pani w ciemnych włosach już bardzo niemiła).

Pros:

The room was nice, the bed was very comfortable, and the cleaning staff did a great job tidying up our room and provided fresh linens daily.

Cons:

The breakfast could have been a little better, but considering the space they had for breakfast, what they had was ok. Most of the staff was friendly and helpful, but I did not care for the night watchman (Don't know his name but he is the obese guy with black hair and beard who drives a Chevy Tahoe or Suburban). He, or his buddy with him threw chicken bones into the back of my classic car (a 1970 Chevy El Camino) on Monday morning, July 13th. I was detailing my car in the parking lot when these two guys pulled up. I don't know who they are and they just sat there and stared at me while eating fried chicken. When I walked by their vehicle to go into the hotel, the buddy said " Don't worry, we were just looking at your nice car". I said thank you and continued into the hotel. When I came back out to move my car to a different parking space, when I looked into the back of it there were chicken bones in the box. It does not sounds like much, but I do not appreciate having trash placed into the bed of my classic car. I did not report him to management while we were there as I did not want to have him or his buddy do something else worse to my car because I reported his actions.

Pros:

Ein kleines Hotel. Für eine Nacht prima.

Cons:

Der Herr an der Rezeption war etwas ungesprächig, wir haben ihn wohl beim Essen gestört.
Das Frühstück ist leider unter der amerikanischen Norm. Es gab Toast, Beagle und Müsli und Kaffee. Der Frühstücksraum ist winzig.

Very convenient on my travels through. A good price point and a clean, quiet place to stay.
Pros:

Nice spacious room. Staff generally very friendly and the hotel had a homey feel to it with a bit of character.

Cons:

Breakfast was a bit uninspiring. I wasn't expecting much but a frozen breakfast croissant was a bit meh.

It was quiet.
Pros:

Quaint like a hallmark movie.

Cons:

Took 200.00 deposits on 2 rooms. As of today it’s been 4 days of no return. Nothing wrong with rooms. Would be nice if we could have checked in sooner. Literally sat in small area and watched them do their business. Won’t return next year. Or use booking.com.

Was about average, nothing special
Pros:

The shower pressure was amazing and the mids were happy with the pool

Cons:

The price was too much for the room. Bathroom was small, the shower curtain wasnt even on a rounded rod so it kept sticking to us, had to ask for towels. Didn't have an elevator. Was clean though, which was my most important thing when booking. Does have a continental breakfast though

Pros:

It’s a nice pool—not big, but warm; it really is heated, just as advertised. My child had a great time swimming there. It offers good value for money, and it was a pleasant place to relax. The room was clean.
