Summary: Great stay at this large hotel. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Wonderful breakfast
amber Sep 1, 2025 06:12:23 AM
Summary: First room A/C would not work only heat. They stop breakfast 15 min early and would not replenish food multiple people asking employees and they would not supply, only thing that was available was breads and other pastries. There were some old eggs dried out no one would touch. I will plan to book elsewhere in future travel.
