I was traveling with my two 40 lb dogs and the room had a lovely kitchenette which allowed me to prepare my meals along with the dogs. I travel with a Husky sized crate which fit easily between the kitchen cabinet and desk with plenty of room. The walk-in shower allowed me to place the dogs water bowl there which kept the floors dribble free. The kitchen had basic utensils and pans for quick meals.

We had a family emergency the night we were supposed to check in. The last thing on my mind was my reservation when my child was sick. We ended up going on the trip the next day. Get to the hotel and find out they cancelled our reservation without emailing, calling or anything to let us know AND they charged us the full amount for the three stay that they cancelled even though we came a day late. They had us rebook while standing there. I’ve been in contact twice trying and get a refunded since we DID stay. Nobody at this place answers the damn phone.

If we weren’t so tired we would have turned around and left. Someone had vomited outside the front door (clearly hours prior), the trash was overflowing, elevator and lobby floor were filthy. Room was fine, clean bathroom. Overall a solid D. Too many other hotels around to deal with this.

I initially booked through expedia for the wrong dates and immediately contacted them to make a change. Expedia told me they tried reaching the hotel multiple times but received no response and as a result i was still charged for the first night as a cancelation fee. This was disappointing. During our stay, there were 4 of us in one room and we needed clean towels the next day(like everyday). When we asked housekeeping, the employee told us our room wasn't scheduled for service until day 3 and was quite rude about it. We ended up having to go down to the lobby ourselves to request clean towels. On top of thay we checked out midweek when the hotel was nearly empty and requested a late checkout but it was denied. The explanation given was that it was because we booked through Expedia, whixh felt unreasonable. Overall the experience was disappointing and we will not choose to stay here again.

Staff at this location are immature and not capable of dealing with hiccups in reservations. What was no big deal was turned into a mocking session with someone who has a disability, which in turn escalated the issue. What manager and staff laugh at a guest who is struggling? Wipe those grins off because it’s unprofessional and useless. A fine line between discrimination and rude behavior. Do better.

We loved the location and property was in great shape. Check in was an unexpected adventure. We checked in at 3:30 and the room was ready. We put some of our belongings in the room and left to go see family we were there to visit and when we arrived back that night our room keys didn’t work. We were quite surprised to find that they had given away the room to someone else who had complained about their room and removed our belongings without notifying us. We were able to secure another room there for the night but it was not a smooth transition. Staff seemed overwhelmed and disorganized.

The quality of this hotel has degraded year-by-year over the last four years, and I was very disappointed on my last trip.

The front desk personnel will hardly lift a finger and act as if they are being asked a great favor, rather than enthusiastically granting a guests simple request.

On one trip there was no toaster or coffee maker in the room, and this last trip I had to beg for two days for a toaster.

It’s a residence type hotel but there is no table in the room. You are provided with two forks, two spoons, two butter knives, no spatula, no scouring pads, no cover for the frying pan, and in almost every room I’ve stayed in, faulty outlets force you to make toast in the bathroom, or plugged into a lamp.

The luggage carts are old and broken and there are only two of them.

In the three years I’ve been visiting this hotel four times a year, they have never bothered to create or provide a channel guide for the cable tv service they use. If you want to find CNN or TBS, you have to flip through 200 channels waiting for the digital cable system to change channels, then sitting through commercials until you can figure out what channel you are watching. I’ve mentioned this to the desk people for years but apparently nobody thinks it’s a worthy consideration for the guests.

The cost of the rooms are now overpriced on the weekends, you would do much better at the hotel across the street at this point. Or the the Clarion around the corner.

Front desk confusion

Front desk was very unorganized. They seemed to have booked rooms before arrivals. If you came earlier than your room was ready they gave you someone else’s room. They were confused. We even went to our room and they called the room for us to come back down as they gave us a room that was paid for. Then when we went back to lobby they apologized and said they’d just give them another room when they show up.
