Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The fitness center is filthy and has no gym/clorox wipes to sanitize equipment. The pool was closed which I why we chose this hotel. There was no communication with consumers to share the pool was unavailable. Legends Pub advertised a happy hour during the days we were there. This was also not true, there were no specials and no food. We didn’t receive housekeeping services, instead we had to call and ask for someone to take our trash and get a couple clean towels. This was a huge disappointment.

Staff was very friendly. The main door to get into the hotel was out of order and entry was through a different door further away from the check in desk. The indoor pool was closed due to a leak. We chose this hotel specifically for the indoor pool. There was no mention that the pool was closed until we got to the hotel. As per one of the staff it was not a recent issue. It should not be advertised as having a pool if guests will not be able to use it. We would have stayed elsewhere for less money had we known.

This property is excellent. The newer section is much nicer than the original. That being said we’ve had rooms in both section and they were clean and comfortable.

Great hotel and staff

The front desk staff was very friendly and flexible. We requested a late checkout and they allowed us to check out an hour late. They brought sheets to us promptly upon request for the sofa bed.

What disturbed us the most was the big red & green dried up booger on one of the pillows. A closer look at the sheets also led me to believe that the sheets were never changed prior to our late arrival. There was a little mold in the tub area and the bathroom sink would fill up and slowly drain after each use leaving it dirty after each use. When we arrived there was hair in the sink. We were expecting more. We will not stay here again. Still waiting to here from someone about adjusting our bill. I showed the front desk a photo of the booger on the pillow!

The bathroom set-up is confusing. There is a floor to ceiling mirror right in the middle of the bathroom. No shelving for towels, only hooks or laying on sink. Hand rails for shower were way lower and far away from where I needed them to be
