The room is spacious and comfortable. The bed is comfortable. Enjoyed the whirlpool. The room was clean. It was a little noisy in the evening from the traffic outside. Window does not seem to be soundproof. Other than that, the stay was great.

Room was clean and layout was comfortable. I like the walk in showers. It would be nice to have a shelf in the walk in showers. I bring my own soap and shampoo. Enjoyed the whirlpool.

I was very disappointed in our stay. The tub was filthy and grimy as if it had not been clean for weeks. The room/hotel was supposed to be smoke free. Our room smelled like an ash tray. We were offered another room but had already unpacked before we noticed the situation and there was no other room available on the first floor. The staff assisted as best as they could. I understand there has been staffing issues and understand the hotel is going through some difficult times. However, it was not as pleasant a stay as we would have liked. We stayed here last year and had a few issues that were not as bad as this stay.

No, I do not recommend this property.

The room could have been cleaned better. Our bathtub was filthy and grimy as if it had not been clean for weeks. I had to scrub the tub myself. The room/hotel was supposed to be smoke free. Our room smelled like an ash tray. We were offered another room but had already unpacked before we noticed the situation and there was no other room available on the first floor. The staff assisted as best as they could. I understand there has been staffing issues and understand the hotel is going through some difficult times.
