Room was very clean but the noise from the road was bad. Was surprised that the only chair in the room was a desk chair. Need additional chairs. The staff were really good.

6.4/10 (259 reviews)
Room was spotless, having an attached restaurant was convenient, hotel location and setup with the security gate for parking and areas to walk around with great views are a plus, friendly staff. My only gripes were a single sheet as the main blanket even though there was an extra blanket in the closet which was thin as well but a little thicker than the sheet and the hot water was mild at best with the knob maxed out to hot. I let it run for a few minutes, temp still didn't change so I dipped in it before it got cooler so I just turned the heat up and left the bathroom door open so I wouldn't be cold when I hopped out. I also waited a few hours and overnight to test out the water again and I was disappointed each time. I will give them another try though, maybe it was the room or something else.
