This hotel was very nice and clean. The hotel was very quiet on the inside but located near interstate and could hear road noise all night. Very nice continental breakfast. Downside was that it went until 9:30am but it was not refilled after 9:00am even though it was still very busy.
Positives: Warm continental breakfast.
Negatives: Noisy-located near interstate.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 05 Jun 2008 rated 9 out of 10.
Nice hotel, clean and new. The only complaint we had was the first day they closed the pool really early when they advertised it closed at midnight. The second day the elevator was out of order.
Positives: New hotel, clean and comfortable.
Negatives: Pool was closed early the first day, elevator was closed the second.
