Pool & hot tub working but gross. No coffee throughout the day. Air conditioner not great water pressure terrible. Key access to room is temperamental. No vending machines or on site snack shop. The only positives were the cinnamon rolls & kcup coffee makers in room

The room and the bedding smelled. The comforter had stains on one of the beds. The pillows smelled musty and the shower did not work properly. I did not expect much as it was a hotel in a college town but I paid over $200 for the room and expected a better experience

Fix the ice machines & the doors
Not thrilled i had to go to the bottom floor from an end room on the 3rd floor for a bucket of ice. Doors are too heavy. Finally could sleep in with my brother who is Special Olympics athlete and all morning long the doors were slamming shut.

Overpriced for the quality
The room was a decent size but for the cost ($150) per night, I would expect the quality to be better. Every pice of furniture was damaged and or stained, even the light fixtures had rust spots. The wall paper was ripped, the bathroom was dirty and not well maintained. The bedspreads had stains. The room felt damp.The breakfast was just ok but not much variety. I wont stay again.

Breakfast was decent for a hotel breakfast but I have to give a shout out to Darin. There was help needed with my father and instead of just saying sorry, can’t help, he did the exact opposite. He helped my father and in turn helped me and my family enjoy my son’s college graduation. Thank you so much Darin!!!!

Decent place
Hotel room was clean & comfortable. Lighting in bathroom is very poor & dim. It needs a new toilet seat, cuz it was discolored, makes it look old. Breakfast was good. Make your own pancakes was nice but it tasted a little rubbery. Cinnamon rolls were nice & warm. There was cereal & oatmeal packets. Turkey sausage tasted fake. Sausage links were good. Veg omelets were ok. There's Toast, muffins, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, Coffee & juices. Nothing to brag about but it was filling. I would stay there again if i knew the bathroom issues were resolved & if the price was right.
