Room was clean although seemed dated and was very dark even with all lights on. We had a king suite and it was very small. Had a bit of a wait at check in even though I was the only one there, the worker was just busy doing something else. The hotel is at a great location.

Our first night the guest next to ours were very loud and were banging on the wall and the window causing us to be awake until almost 2am. We have a child so we were nervous to report. Aswell their pool was out of order for our entire stay, we were able to us the Hilton pool but walking over in the winter was not enjoyable. Staff were very welcoming and nice and breakfast was very good.
