    There was nothing on the website that said you had to be 21 To book I didn’t realize that in the lady in the front was rude. She had my ID in her Hand and then asked if I was 21 she couldn’t just look our room smelt gross went up just to let her know was not complaining. She was snippy and said I can put something in your room, but you have to leave for two hours or I can come spray with Febreze and our Beds were wet. The sheets were not just cold. They were wet, sat down in our butt got wet.

    I’ve only stayed here twice but I have had such good experiences both times I had to write a quick review. In far out suburban hotel bar/restaurants, I always get whatever the server recommends and it seldom steers me wrong. The key to success for these places is to offer a limited menu but push what you do really well. Last time I got their fish & chips - Atlantic Cod and sweet potato fries. It was fantastic; three huge pieces of very fresh fish, not greasy, not overcooked - just a really perfect deep fry and very crispy sweet potato fries. Definitely among the best fish & chips I’ve had at a hotel restaurant. The second time here I got the pork chop with mixed vegetables and a side salad. I don’t know how it could have been better. The pork was delicious and grilled to perfection, well-seasoned, and the veggies were a little crunchy inside with big flavor. I really appreciate it when chefs don’t just phone in the sides. The sides are critical elements of a meal like this. Knowing what you can really excel at is key and this chef nailed it. I can’t close without mentioning the server who had a full bar but still made me feel like I was his only customer.
