Nice, comfy hotel

The hotel was really nice. The location couldn't have been any better. The only reason for the good ratings instead of excellent was the hotel is a little older and shows a little wear. I would stay there again.

While the room and staff were wonderful, I wish I would have known the hotel was under construction. Pool and hot tub were closed. That would have been a game changer. How bout a set of pillows? Helen
