"The hotel staff was very nice and welcoming. Rooms were nice. only thing I didn't like about the stay, was that there is a charge to use the indoor pool, which I did not pursue. I would have loved to use the pool, but it is something I would not pay for. In my own opinion, it should be a free amenity for customers, If part of the hotel."

The double room was the right size for the solo traveler. My only suggestion is that they could use one more washer/dryer set in the coin laundry area. But, overall, this was a great stay!"
