"This hotel is a fine hotel. The room was adequate for our needs. The pool was not usable for lap swimming as it was too small. The work out room was another area that was lacking. They supplied two towels when we had 4-6 people using it in the morning and there weren’t any cleaning towelettes to wipe down the machines as we were instructed to do. Otherwise, the breakfast was fine."
