"First and foremost, staff was amazing and very helpful. Breakfast was good, for the price of the room/stay. Hotel and rooms were outdated and not very well maintained. Sofa bed was horrible and hard to sleep on even for little ones. No paid parking or validation was the most disappointing aspect, but I should have looked at that more closely when deciding where to stay. Overall it was an okay stay! We'll definitely try somewhere else next time."
