What a make over from the previous hotel! The room was clean and the hotel looked spotless.
The staff was courteous, very attendant...Just plain awesome! The hotel is still being remodeled so no heated hot tub or pool for cool nights...It's still bearable.

The hotel was clean and modern. The staff was especially friendly and helpful. Bed and rooms were comfortable. The entire hotel was set a a very cold temperature, so be sure and bring long pants and a jacket. We were unprepared. Breakfast was ok, just the usual powdered eggs, etc. coffee could definitely be improved. Very bitter. I would stay again, but bring warmer clothes and my own coffee. Again, loved the staff!!
