Never spent the night as our planes were delayed and couldn’t get a cancellation in time as they have a 24 hr cancellation policy but your site said there was no cancellation costs, so I’m out the funds

Room was good, staff was wonderful, breakfast was very minimal, replaced towels but not wash cloths. Tv reception was spotty at best. Walks very thin and neighbors were very loud: although I know that’s not the hotels fault. Shuttle was on time although available kept changing

Staff was very nice, and lobby was clean and inviting! The room was very... not good. It's noticeable that they wash their sheets and wipe down things but the room was still dirty and definitely needs some updating. Carpet was filled with dirt and salt from I'm guessing years of it being there. Shower was a little disappointing, it's a big stand up shower with a giant puffin on the curtain lol and sometimes when we used the toilet the shower would turn on for a second. Room was also cold.. we went down to tell someone and were given a space heater and extra blanket.. I mean it did fix the problem of it being cold.. I just have never had a hotel had me a heater lol. We also had 2 separate people during our stay knock on our door repeatedly.. told staff twice about it but i never heard anything, there was a camera up by our door in the hallway area. All in all.. it was an ok stay and was cheap enough that I didn't really care.
