For 200 dollars a night, this room was insanely overpriced. The rooms were disgusting and obviously neglected. There were stains on the floor, the bed sheets, and the shower floor. When we got to this room, we asked to be moved because the door wouldn’t even shut on top of all the other issues mentioned above. The guy was nice and apologetic and offered us free breakfast and drink vouchers. They moved us to a new room 2 floors down to the 15th which wasn’t ideal since we had a better view on the 17th so I wish they would have left us up on that floor but that’s the least of my concerns. We get to the new room and there are cigarette burns in the floor and the glass door to the balcony which was made to enjoy the view was smudged and dirty so we had to open the door to even get a good look. The toilet hardly flushed and the sink and shower drains were broken so there was standing water in both At this point, after driving ten hours, we were over it and just wanted to sleep. Although, I got very little sleep because the traffic was insanely loud on the interstate even though we were 15 floors up. The next morning, I asked the manager for a refund instead of the food and drink vouchers because at this point, I felt like I was just being robbed and didn’t care about free food or drinks. The manager was very nice about it and refunded me half of my money back. The only reason this place didn’t get the lowest possible rating was because the staff and manager were understanding.

We are very sorry that you had the problems you had. We had some renovation plans last year but they got pushed back because of covid to hopefully later this year. Unfortunately because of the pandemic supplies, contractors and employees are of short supply. We appreciate your feedback and hope you give us another try, maybe after renovation.

The views are obviously the main attraction. The hotel itself seemed understaffed. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived and while the front desk was apologetic and nice, they sent us to the little lounge restaurant with some vouchers for a free app and drink. It took nearly an hour to get an appetizer (severely understaffed/not the servers fault) and my husband had to go back to the front desk to ask about our room an hour later (we were told they would notify us when it was ready...) We had dinner reservations and were hoping to change before we went to dinner. The room had a great view and was clean. But... the king bed only had three small pillows? In addition... the bed was hard as a rock! All in all, worth it for a one-night stay with the views. Not super special in any other way.

Yes the hotel is very understaffed. We have been trying to hire staff for over a year and it is very difficult. It seems whenever we get a new person someone else leaves. We normally get very good comments about our beds and I even bought two for my family but of course everyone has there own bed preference. We appreciate your feedback and hope you give us another try in the future.

Checkin was quick, no issues. Beautiful view of city with paid city view. Tub drain was blocked with hair and yuck, was caused water to back up, GROSS! Carpet in room was very dirty with large sticky spots greeting me as soon as feet hit the floor. Would still consider staying at this location again.
