The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but there was a noticeable sewer smell and a severe need for dusting and vacuuming. The service was impressive with staff wearing costumes, being incredibly friendly, but follow-through on services was lacking. The location was good, with separate bathroom facilities, close to attractions like Arnolds Park and the beach. The dining experience had limited options with only waffles and pancakes available.
