Pros (+) Got a free breakfast coupon for the buffet, which was great.
Pros (+) The location was convenient for our purposes, but there wasn't much to do in the area. If you went out at night there really wasn't anything open. It's the sort of area that closes down after 5 p.m. The staff was friendly and the space was clean. Overall, it was a good value for the money.
Cons (-) The bathroom drain was slow running, but that was the only problem with the room. The location is really better suited for business then for a leisure visit.
Cons (-) Scratchy sheets, drab interiors
Pros (+) Friendly bar staff
Cons (-) Had to pay for parking Had to pay for Breakfast, even continental breakfast
Cons (-) Parking was not included and no breakfast. Most other hotels include these things for the price.
Pros (+) Staff were helpful from moment we arrived to departure. Beds were very comfortable and room (on the HHonors floor) was clean and well appointed.
Cons (-) Buffet breakfast could be trimmed down (omelet bar was barely used) and then included in room rate. Parking is also $15 extra if you add it to your hotel bill. You still park your own car and then get ticket validated at front desk. OR, just hold on to your ticket, don't have it added to your bill, and pay just $11 for an overnight stay to the parking lot attendant!
