a good stay

modern style memory foam mattress delicious pizzas

the room was cozy with a modern touch. i slept wonderfully on the memory foam mattress. the evening pizzas were delicious (i highly recommend the pepperoni!).

internet issues night food

I must say i was rather disappointed. a four-night stay cost me quite a bit and breakfast was not included. It was bed only. there were no options for food at night or a bar, except on thursday and friday. the internet was practically non-existent, a real letdown.

beautiful bathroom comfy bed big television friendly manager

The bathroom was BEAUTIFUL!!! The bed was super comfy, and I had plenty of pillows to choose from. The room included a big television. This was really nice after a long day. The manager was friendly. He assisted me with directions when I asked. My husband had a great time playing pool!

The internet connection was somewhat unreliable.

The pizzas were AMAZING!!! There was also an excellent selection of beers available at the bar. This was GREAT!!! A gin distillery located nearby has several options. I'd recommend that for gin lovers.

nonexistent wifi lacking toiletries

The room was clean. I guess that is the bare minimum one can expect.

The advertised wifi was practically nonexistent. I could not even load a simple webpage. also, the 'stylish bathroom' lacked basic toiletries, such as soap, which i found amusing! i had to call reception to ask for it.
