wonderful stay!
good pricequiet roomclean roomtasty food
I have stayed a few times now since discovering this place a couple years back. the room price really can't be beat. It is nothing fancy, but it is clean and quiet. the atmosphere is pleasant. i also found the postcard restaurant food tasty.
they started charging $24 per night for parking (it seems like a lot).

Our room felt dark and a bit musty. The towels never seemed to dry properly.. they stayed damp. The parking fee was unexpectedly high, I think that overshadowed other savings..

the hotel had a resort atmosphere with features. our upstairs room had a vaulted ceiling and felt inviting. the pool area and poolside lounge are suitable for adults or families. the fitness center is sufficient for basic exercise.
the bathroom was very small, the door hit the toilet each time i opened it. it was about the size of a bathroom stall. my room had one king bed, even though i reserved two beds. i would have paid more for a rollaway bed.
