Two nights at the Ayres. I have stayed in several of their properties and this one is one of the nicer I have been in.
I had a room on the west side of the out-building and never heard a plane for which I was pleasantly surprised. The room was large, the furnishings extremely rich (too much for my taste, but I do not own it) and very comfortable. The bed was comfortable, a big deal with me, and there was a fridge and microwave.
The breakfast is a real breakfast with real eggs, not the gross frozen re-heated kind, bacon, potatoes, cereals, toast etc.
There is free wi-fi in the lobby only, the internet access in the rooms has a 2 foot cable and costs about $9/day. That always annoys me!! I luckily carry a 10 foot cable so at least I could see the TV and work on my laptop. Charging for internet is such an annoyance to me, it isnt even my money but if you are going to run a nice hotel internet should be free, even the dicey comfort inn I stayed in last year had free wi-fi in the rooms for crying out loud.
The staff I came into contact with was friendly, Andrew at the front desk was very friendly and conversational, he handled my two annoyances so well I couldnt even be mad afterwards (although the charge for cabled internet in the rooms will prevent me from returning he understood my point of view and handled my comments well) The second complaint was being locked in an elevator for about ten minutes, it closed on me and then wouldnt move or let me out. I told him of the situation and there was an 'out of order' sign on it when I returned. The next day it was fixed. Luckily there were two elevators since I was on the third floor.
All in all I can recomend this hotel to anyone and have a clear consience. My pet peeve about the charge for internet is kind of silly, but it is just as easy to find a place that doesnt charge. So I probably wouldnt come back unless I couldnt find a decent place in the area, but there are several so those chances are slim... None of the other Ayres properties I have been in charge so it is confusing why this one does...
