Originally Posted By mickeynewe I have to say that we had a good experience with them also, but that was 10 years ago +/-. We arrived around midnight, checked in, they gave us a huge room over the lobby, and didn't even charge us that first night! But, like I said, that was about 10 years ago.
Originally Posted By mickeymeg There were a few good reports in that website. We had no complaints at all, and we were staying with a group of 50 kids so we got a look at a lot of their rooms. The staff was very accomadating, even when we had to switch around several rooms. And they even let us have a spare room to store all our equiptment in (this was a band trip) at no cost. The rooms were clean, the suits were a fair size and had fridge and microwave. As far as value I would say this was definatly one of the better places we have ever stayed.

I found a rate of $ 59 a night in December, so I think I might stay there on SAturday the 10th, then move over to the Candycane the next 3 days. It will be an adventure!
