Very disappointed that the hotel refused to offer any credit towards a future stay when one member of our party fell ill and we had to cancel our trip. Despite our giving notice of cancellation two days in advance, the hotel still charged us the entire amount, thereby squandering an opportunity to earn goodwill. We will be staying elsewhere on future visits.

Super friendly staff! Very accommodating when we had issues with the tv in our original room - offered to switch rooms for us right away because they still had space available. Also was very nice about my check out requests. Would definitely stay here again and recommend this hotel!
