Place has always been clean, breakfast in the morning is great - hot or cold options. Can get little cheese omelettes, or scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage (depends on day), cold cereal, pancakes, yogurt, various breads, oatmeal.... We are able to take our 3 dogs and there is only 1 flat fee. Only issue last time was the people across... More

Sorry to hear you were disturbed by running children late at night. Please call the Front Desk should that ever happen again and our staff will deal with the situation. Our pool is open until 9:30 pm for children and 11 pm for adults, after that the pool entrance is locked. We are a pet freindly hotel and we allow... More

First off, location and cleanliness were very good. Room was very clean and modern. Only complaint i have is the fridge is located immediately in front of the beds and mine was particularly noisy. I think it was a vibration issue because if I tilted the fridge upwards slightly it was quiet. I ended up turning the fridge thermostat to... More

Thank you for your posting. We have gone over all our fridges and made sure they are adjusted properly to avoid any unnecessary noise. As for the vent noise.......at this point we aren't sure where it was coming from. We have inspected our roof ventilations and did not find anything amiss there. We have had some pretty strong winds in... More

I have stayed at this property many times in the last 10 years. Admittedly, my main motivation is getting Priority Club points. Having said that, I have always found the staff here to be fantastic. The hotel is also clean and in good repair. It isn't brand new but there were some renovations a couple of years ago. There is... More

Thanks for taking time out to write a review. You are right, we are not the newest property in town but we did do extensive renovations in 2010 and our pool was renovated this month and looks spectacular. We installed 37" flat screens in December 2011 and they have been appreciated by our guests. We do have great staff and... More

I do not write reviews but after I have read some of the reviews on this site I felt obliged to add my two cents. I travel alot for work, staying in hotels about 75-100 nights per year.

Be aware that this hotel charges a $30 pet fee and they only allow you to stay on the 1st floor which is their designated pet floor?? Why the fee if they only use these rooms for pets?? We booked our room online and the rate did not state that there was this $30 fee they just sprung it on... More

Not a team friendly hotel. Felt unwelcome, checked our room for damage before we could check out. Appaling. Don't stay here! not acceptable cleaning service, lack of hot water. Gave a garbage bag and asked to do our own room garbage. Manager not customer focussed, didn't care. Terrible experience, bad general manager.

As noted this hotel is a little pricey in the summer but its rates mirror the same tiered CI and BW Plus. Great location, nice rooms and my favorite breakfast of the major mid tier chain hotels.

Yes, you are right - we are competitively priced with properties of the same quality as ours and we work very hard at staying that way. Our free breakfast is outstanding and we are looking forward to introducing some new breakfast items in 2012. The pancakes that were added this year are a guest favorite.
