Our stay was nice. The room was clean. The beds were the only disappointment. They were very hard and uncomfortable. They seemed smaller than a queen.

Room generally was good but carpets dirty and not vacuumed. I misplaced my room card and while looking i discovered pretzel crumbs under the mattress. Not acceptable. Places along sidewalks, obscured by darkness, were icy causing me to fall. At the price charged, not impressed. I and my family have stayed in this property for decades. Maybe not again?
