This is my second year staying at this hotel and once again me and my friend greatly enjoyed our stay. The staff was wonderful and friendly, the rooms were comfortable and clean. The reason I gave four out of five stars is because we got locked out of our room on the second day when we had booked for three days. It also took a while for a new key card to be made. Other than that everything was great. Breakfast could’ve been better

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this hotel. I checked in around 4:15 PM on a Friday, needing to shower and change for an event at 6:00 PM. Despite having a reservation and the official check-in time being 3:00 PM, no rooms were available because they were still being cleaned. I waited in the lobby for 20 to 30 minutes until the front desk clerk unassigned a clean room from another guest who had not yet checked in and assigned it to me. After finally getting into my room, I showered and went to my event. Around 9:30 PM, while still out, I received a call from the front desk asking me to stop by when I returned because my credit card information had not been properly attached to my account. When I returned around 11:30 PM, I provided my card to a different staff member, who re-entered the information and re-scanned my key cards. However, at 1:45 AM, I received another call from the front desk, waking me up to say that my card was still not on file. This was the third time dealing with this issue. I went downstairs and provided my card again. The staff member explained that the previous clerk had incorrectly recorded a cash deposit instead of entering my card. The repeated errors and lack of proper communication from the front desk staff caused significant inconvenience. Being woken up at 1:45 AM for an issue that was entirely the hotel’s fault was unacceptable. The indifference and lack of apology were disappointing. I would not recommend this hotel.
