    FYI, when you walk in the front doors, be aware that is floor 2. There is a basement, which is level 1. My room was great and the HVAC worked perfectly! They already had salt out on the walkways ahead of the cold front that would bring snow the next morning. Staff were all very friendly.

    I stay in hotels regularly, and this is the only hotel that fully locks down the TV to the hotels cable. No streaming apps, no ability to change inputs, just live TV or rent a movie. So if you have a Samsung remote, bring it so maybe you can actually watch something instead of navigating their extremely slow set up. And no, front desk doesn’t have anyway to help.

    Very impressed, the owners completely renovated the hotel. Rooms are spacious, lobby staff was friendly and assisted us a couple times. Have been here 7 or 8 times in the past (the kids love the pool & gym), we were delighted to see the renovations!

    No hot breakfast. Disappointed and I had to spend more money to get breakfast elsewhere for me and my family. Was told by front desk there was a sign that said no hot breakfast available and I should have cancelled my reservation if I didn’t like it!
