A solid 4.5 stars for me, but since Yelp doesn't allow fractional ratings I've rounded up to 5 stars.
We just returned from 5-night stay at this hotel, and were very pleased with our experience. The hotel is new and clean, which is a big plus. As others have mentioned, there are cooking facilities in every room, which is a huge plus as the kids' offerings at most restaurants and not very healthful. Don't make the same mistake we did, though - we neglected to notice that there is no conventional oven in the suite. We purchased two frozen pizzas with no real way to cook them!
Our family was originally in a queen bed + sofa bed suite. To be completely honest, there was barely enough space for the four of us, and there was no easy way for us to sit down an eat as a family. The following morning, I inquired about whether there were larger rooms available on the same rate plan, and Mikki the front desk manager graciously moved us into a two-queen suite. This was much more spacious and had a table that allowed us to dine in comfort. Outstanding customer service!
Complimentary continental breakfast is included with your stay here. This consisted of a couple waffle machines, hardboiled eggs, yogurt, some fruit, bagels/toast/english muffins, and about 6 different cereals, including oatmeal. Though this was not as expansive as the breakfasts that we've had at other hotels, we were happy nevertheless. The staff made sure that everything was well-stocked. Newspapers (both local and USA Today) were free for the taking during breakfast.
There was coffee available at all times, and on a couple occasions there were cookies and lemonade as well - very nice after some of the hot weather days that we experienced this past week. The staff at this hotel was exceedingly friendly and responsive. Whenever we needed extra towels, toilet paper, forks, etc., we would have them within minutes.
The pool is small but adequate. There is an exercise room but after hours of kayaking and hiking during the days, we didn't avail ourselves of this particular amenity.
The only real drawback about the hotel is that the location that, while safe, isn't very interesting. It's in a commercial area near a handful of other hotels, but it's not really a walking neighborhood. There are a few restaurants within walking distance, but it doesn't make for a pleasant after-dinner stroll.
So, in a nutshell this is a very fine hotel for the area. We will definitely be back again soon. read more
