They have a nice coffee shop with lots of reasonably priced food, and a nice bar too! They decorate for Christmas with a beautiful tree in the foyer, and the BEDS were quite comfortable!

If you are not driving and have NO intention of needing computer access, (which lots of hotels give FREE to their repeat customers) why should you have to pay their resort fee?

Most offer the choice of feather or synthetic pillows upon asking. They're starting to implement The Link (Toronto has one for example) which is like a techno geek corner where you can sip coffee and cruise the net. Although I think most of the moderate priced hotels charge for Internet and the cheap places offer it for free (my corporate account gives me free access at the Sheraton's). I find it funny though how hotel prices tend to jump Say from the cheapies to the 130-190's then the what the heck can people afford this rooms?

This is our 2nd year staying there and we love it.
