The room 111 assigned to us: when attempting to key in the room was occupied. Then room 342 given to us smelled of smoke. Now in room 124 sharing a small queen bed with my son who requires his own bed The front desk said they were sold out and if it wasn’t late I would have left and asked for a refund this place is not wonderful as the reviews state, it’s really run down and like a motel Do not stay here

I had searched for free parking when we booked the room, at check in we were told that we would be charged $17 for their “amenities” which was parking, pool, and workout room. We were given a bottle of wine at check in, I would have rather not paid for the amenities. Room was small as was the bathroom area, but the room was very clean.

A nice place, with nice people and nice accommodations. However, the continental breakfast provides no ability to take a 2nd cup of coffee and a second danish back to the room for your travel mate. They will not provide a tray or a coffee holder or a box. So if you want coffee, you have to go get it. Seems strange.

Check in was simple and easy, very friendly staff at Check in. Breakfast was adequate, just not many options besides pastries. I did not get my bottle of wine as advertised, not a big deal but just don’t have your heart set on a bottle of wine. Loved how quiet and pretty the property was. Will definitely stay again if we have a swim meet in the area.
