We had to wait over 4 hours for an iron. We had an ADA person with us BUT the room we booked was on the second floor there was no elevator to the room. Some small things were missing from our room. Someone also went into the room without permission.

Great NB Option

This hotel is perfect for the cost. The rooms are a bit smaller, but they are clean and comfortable. Pool is great, parking ample, and breakfast is good enough. Stay here with confidence. This is better than the average star reviews posted.

We had the large tub suite. Room itself looks beautiful except gap on at bottom if door let kight and bugs in. Sink was slow. Maintenance did not fix while we were there. Exterior of building ceilings, doors, stairwells needs maintenance still. The breakfast never changed at all for the 3 days we were there. I wish they would have offered a dairyfree milk and gluten free option. Ryan's Pub inside hotel is the best. Licals love it's cheap prices and chance to play pool. Fast service with great tasting food.
