Mixed review on this hotel
The room was nice with comfortable beds and plenty of space to move around. There was a nice breakfast the two mornings we were there, with eggs and sausage along with all the other usual choices for a continental breakfast. We had just one issue with our room which was the little refridgerator that was in the room. It was not working properly, being in a continous defrost mode, the water dripping down from the little freezer area and overflowing out onto the carpeted floor which was already wet we we first got to our room. We contacted the front desk right away and he said he'd get someone up to look at it. Later we went out to eat and stopped by the desk to ask if they might be coming up to fix it while we were gone. He first said he had it on his list to call them and when we questioned if he would be getting them up there soon he got angry and asked what did we want, a room at another hotel? No, we just wanted the refridgerator fixed, possibly before the carpet and floor underneath got damaged. The reply, accompanied by an angry look and frown was "I said I would get maintenance up to get it fixed, is there anything else you want? Good have a nice evening". The next morning we let the young lady at the desk know about the leak and she said maintenance would be up soon. They finally came up, looked at the fridge, said it was running, that was normal and left. Not the best attitude from the man at the desk and they didn't fix the problem.
