Hotel room was a bit dated and needed to be refreshed, room showed evident wear and however it was apparent it needs updating the room was clean, cool and comfortable. We attended a concert at Wooly's and the hotel is in walking distance. We did not feel concerned for safety in the area and it was nice to be able to walk in peace. The appetizers and drinks were welcome but the bartender has a heavy pour and were too atrong. Breakfast was nice however I could have passed as a diabetic not too many choices. We intend to stay here again!!

The overall experience was mixed. Location was good. Staff was very nice. Room was pretty run down. Very hot-Air didn't work very well. After going to reception to see what they could do to help, they offered a fan, which was appreciated , but was a very uncomfortable night sleep. Rug in room seemed to be coming up in places.

Check in was great - got to our room and there was still leftover food in the fridge, light burnt out in the bathroom, body wash broken off the wall in the shower, tv remote only worked on 1 tv. Nighttime was quiet, went for breakfast the next morning - cooking staff made us feel like we were an inconvenience. Pool was too cold to even swim for 10 minutes.
