Floor planInstalled backwords.

A nice place to stay. The elevator was not working very well, everyone mentioned it was annoying having to push the button for the desired floor 3 to 10 times to get it to move. The bathroom sink area was outdated only about 30 to 36 inches wide countertop. No space for our toiletries. It looks like the floor plan for design was flipped upside down. The closet was next to the patio instead of the bathroom area. So the desk was near the bathroom.

Room was clean, bed was comfy, nothing smelled bad - what more could you ask for? Well, a towel rack in the bathroom would be nice. There wasn’t a single way to hang a towel, and minuscule counter space. One hook on back of door does not a happy camper make. But if that’s my only complaint, the stay was worthwhile. Sorry housekeeping for the towels all over the place. Couldn’t be helped. No where to hang them.

This was an enjoyable stay. The hotel was clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The carpet in my roof was somewhat worn, but it was clean, as was the room, which was also well-maintained. The breakfast was well-prepared and tasty, and the automatic pancake maker actually worked (first time ever! Why did they replace the reliable waffle-makers with these things that never work?) I would certainly stay here again.
