TV didn't work and coffee pot was placed in a spot with no electricity so had to move into bathroom to plug in. Check-in person told me how terrible my hometown was. People above us marched around their room until midnight. Breakfast was good though.

I’m beyond disgusted and disappointed by the staff at this hotel. I was double charged for incidentals upon check in by Julie at the front desk and then when I realized it she was suddenly gone and Sue had replaced her. Sue called the manager, who of course wasn’t there because why would a manager be onsite. The manager wouldn’t do anything even though Sue had already admitted that what they did was wrong. I immediately asked to cancel the reservation and turned the keys over to Sue. I didn’t stay the night or even unpack. I was told by the agent at Hotels.com “customer service” that they could only process a refund if the hotel agreed that what they did was wrong. Now I’m being told the hotel is not cooperating and I won’t be refunded. This is ridiculous and no way to run a business.

WiFi reconnect & 5 minute hot tub

The WiFi irritatingly requires you to reconnect every few hours and it requires you to watch a “sponsor” video. Very irritating. Also the hot tub has a 5 minute timer…..very relaxing….5 minutes at a time!

Very unflexible. Had a family emergency that came up over a week in advance. Just wanted to switch dates. Our son will be there for school for 4 years and we plan to visit and bring more family frequently. All they had to do was switch to a couple of weeks later, but wouldn't. They lost four years of future business

I stay here mainly for work and it’s always a great place to stay. This time I was in town for a family matter and multiple members of our family stayed here too. Some used the gym, which they liked. Also there are multiple areas to run outside which was nice for the runners of the family. We gathered in the lobby area a night and the area was big enough to accommodate our big family. We all would stay here again.
