“I noted several opinions on this hotel and here's my editorial take: It's a reliable choice for vacationing families, with clean rooms and a breakfast that, while not piping hot, offers a good variety; its location is convenient to distilleries and downtown. However, reports of unprofessional service and significant billing issues raise serious concerns for business travelers or anyone expecting consistent quality, giving me pause to recommend.”
