the room felt somewhat dated. there was a noticeable musty smell in the hallways that cleaning could improve. banging doors and loud talking disrupted the sleep. walls seem thin.

Excellent Stay, Clean Rooms and Great Service
wide selectiondelicious courseswell kept roomfriendly bar
The breakfast offered a wide selection of food options, and the restaurant staff were friendly and efficient. Karen provided great service. Our valentine dinner included three delicious courses and created a sublime atmosphere. The room was very clean and well kept. Our bathroom looked recently renovated with modern fixtures. I found the nightly music enjoyable.
The room was rather cold when I checked in, and I suspect the heating is timed to come on when people are expected to be in their rooms.

the location was central. the breakfast dining room featured cloth tablecloths and napkins (a nice touch!). there were many great choices for breakfast.
the toilet made an loud noise after flushing. it seemed to take forever to refill after each flush. i also found that i couldn't open the window, so the room got very warm.
