"Hotel accommodations were comfortable, clean and quiet- just the way I like them. Room was a good size and amenities were great. Front staff were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was included and the selection, although limited, was good. Excellent choice in the area and I would recommend it to anyone."

We asked them someone to move our stuff but we came back late and we found no one moved anything. We had to Pack and to carry our luggage to a lower floor! There is no lifts in the property!!! My 13 year old had to carry the heavy luggage.
Next day, r found the AC was dripping water and made the carpet wet. In...
