1. The lobby and restaurant are nice but the rooms need upgraded and are very dated (worn carpet, bad lighting, depressing bathroom).

2. The cons: small lobby, so wine reception in the evening was packed, worn carpets, and a general run-down look for the hotel, weekend breakfast hours start at 9:00 -- much too late for a family.
