"This was a great hotel and I enjoyed my stay. The room was great, probably the biggest hotel room I have ever been in. The staff was great and very helpful. My only complaint is that the food in the breakfast buffet was never hot even when it had just been brought out from the kitchen."

"I arrived using a walker and the reception staff was very accommodating and came to me, sitting in the chair rather than standing counter. Throughout my stay They were very responsive. They checked in to see how I was doing when I informed them that I was not feeling well. They always had a smile on their face and went above and beyond."
