The breakfast choices impressed me they were plentiful. The hotel rooms were clean they were also spacious. I appreciated the perfect location it was ideal for touring. The staff were helpful and cute.
I waited a week for the refund of my deposit. I found this completely unacceptable. My parents were told the deposit was optional while I was asked for a deposit of 150.

I was a bit annoyed by a couple of things. the bathroom seemed a bit dated (it could use some updating). also, the gym was smaller than i expected. It only had a few pieces of equipment, and i had to wait to use the treadmill. it was a bit frustrating.
