The recent upgrade to the facility looks great. I would suggest that the hotel consider doing a better job maintaining sidewalks and parking lots as during our recent visit there was an ice storm. The hotel did not do much to apply salt to the sidewalks and parking lots. If a guest had fallen, the hotel would be fully liable for any injuries.

We liked that we can eat and drink on the premises, but the breakfast buffet was just an average continental breakfast one would get free at another hotel, but it was very expensive. And the hottub was not working, pool room was cold.
