Overall, totally a fine establishment. Some cosmetic deficiencies in the room, specifically the bathroom with faucets coming away from the wall, things of that nature. But it was a clean, quiet, and comfortable stay. I was travelling with a lot of equipment for work, and being able to park 2 feet from my room door was excellent for moving items to-and-from the car each day. I would stay here again.

The room was very cold when we entered. We turned on the heater on the wall but it blew cold air. We tried turning the two dials every which way. We thought we had it as warm air came out but it didn't last. My daughter went to reception to get assistance and was told to do something with the dial, which she did. Again it worked for a few minutes then cold air again. I phoned reception and he came to the room. He then turned the temp knob to a different place than what he told my daughter. Again it worked for a few minutes, then not so much, so we gave up. We went to sleep wearing our socks and my daughter wore her hoodie. It never did warm up very much. Obviously the heater needs to be fixed or replaced. This was room 30. On a positive note, the room was clean and the beds were comfortable.
