Very nice hotel and great staff. Would stay again for sure. Only complaint was the doors to our rooms. Neither would latch without pushing very hard, allowing anyone the possibility to open the door without key card.

Just okay
We were given a handicapped room, which was unexpected but was due to my error. The shower apparatus would not work properly, so after a long drive and paying $164 for a one night stay, we couldn’t even take a shower. We know how the tub release works, but the top sprayer only sprayed hard streams of water, and the hand held sprayer we couldn’t get to work at all. The bathroom sick had no stopper. The thermostat on the wall doesn’t regulate room temp and we didn’t figure this out until we spent a very cool night in our room. You actually have to go to the window unit to adjust the temperature. The furniture in this room was as hard as rocks.

So so
Staff friendly. Room spacious and clean. Bed comfortable. Fridge did not work and it was late so didn’t complain. Very noisy on the interstate side. Beginning at 4:30 am, trucks were revving up to leave. Only one elevator and it sounded like it was about to break down.

We asked for extra pillows and blankets. We were told to come back to the desk in a little bit and pick them up. They were in garbage bags and handed to us, we had to put our own pillowcases on them. They were just folded in the bags. The door keys were replaced 3 times because they didn’t work. The air conditioner didn’t work so we asked about it and was told. Its fine even though it was just blowing room temperature. They didn’t have anyone look at it but told us we could use a fan. The cable was out until we went to bed around 9ish and then the next morning when I mentioned it i was told that it came on later that night if i had been up later I would have been able to watch it. Was a very uncomfortable/unpleasant situation.
