My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were quite comfortable, but the temperature was too hot for January, necessitating the use of the air conditioning. Unfortunately, the room wasn't fully prepared for the three guests as expected.

The location was lovely, with a breathtaking view of the creek through the large glass wall. It was also perfect for our family function. However, being close to the train tracks might bother light sleepers.

Dining

The dining experience was a bit subpar with limited options below standard, only offering basic items like coffee, whole fruit, and instant oatmeal. It could definitely use improvement in terms of variety and quality.

Facilities

The facilities were average, but there were some minor room for improvement noted like a couple of lamps in the main area needing attention.

The hotel had sturdy hand bars everywhere which was nice, but it appeared quite tired. Despite that, my room was very clean and quiet, providing a peaceful stay even when other guests were partying in the hallway. Service was considerate and accommodating, making my experience pleasant and extremely helpful. The location offered breathtaking views of the creek outside through the floor-to-ceiling glass wall, even though there were some overflowing trash cans. The dining options were limited, not reaching even economy motel standards, with only basic items available.
