I liked a lot about this stay. And it's a very good value for what you get. The staff were great, the food was good, good prices for the food, the facility was very clean, the comp water bottles were nice, and the parking was convenient. Suggestions: 1.) tell people staying on the 2nd floor NOT to use the elevator near the restaurant side. It does NOT take them to their rooms. And this was not marked anywhere. 2.) Use TV remotes that are always backlit. Having remotes that are only activated when you hit a key (possibly the wrong key) defeats the purpose when the room is pitch black and you cannot see any keys. 3.) My Dirty Martini (gin) from the bar, while an ample amount, tasted like it was made with club soda. It had a dull, fizz taste (like Alka-Seltzer). VERY bad (and I've had dozens of Dirty Martinis).
