Although we have always enjoyed this hotel, this trip was problematic due to construction. We were staying four nights, but the lobby was not available due to the construction. It was not pleasant! When I booked the reservation, the clerk told me that some rooms would be under construction. I would not have stayed there had I known.

Good rate but web site never mentioned remodeling. Contractors arrived early right outside. Room was shabby. Tvs were terrible. Shower had no hand-holds.

Wish I'd taken the time to figure out why the bottom sheet didn't fit on the mattress when we arrived instead of the next morning (it was rotated 90 degrees) ane kept coming off and exposing the bare mattress while we attempted to sleep.

Clean, friendly and continental breakfast. Rooms are the best for the money. Staff is excellent and the swimming pool was fantastic. I wish this facility was more family oriented. I detected a corporate feel to the atmosphere. No local advice.
