HOTEL REVIEWS
Family with older children
USA, Aug 2007
It is a nice hotel but rooms are way too small and wireless internet connection is slow and inconvenient. Very old fashion in many things. Typical safe is a keyed one while most hotels today use electrnic type. I can appreciate they are trying to maintain the life style that is compatible with their customers so I guess I am not suitable for this type of hotel
