One of the best hotels in the area. Grace staff clean rooms, and a nice restaurant connected to the hotel as well as a bar for late night drinks and snacks.
Staff was friendly and attentive both at the desk as well as the restaurant. Only disappointment is the lack of breakfast included.
Parking is accessible and close while the rooms are quiet and spacious.
The hotel was crazy expensive for a mediocre hotel. Carpets worn and dirty, basement rooms smell like mild. Beds were comfortable . Facility should have been half the price!!!!
Room was SMALL, but clean. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful.
Bartender was AWFUL. She acted annoyed that we were there and kept disappearing for 20+ minutes at a time and we would have to ask other staff members to go find her. At one point, she started cleaning off the bar and we asked if she was getting ready to shut down (it was prior to 8pm). She replied that she was getting ready to get busy when the hockey team that was staying there returned after the game. Drink options at the bar were pretty limited and she struggled with basic knowledge of how to make pretty standard drinks/shots. Disappointing way to spend our evening.
