Trash was over flowing outside front entrance — property looks tires. Trash in parking lot. And I didn’t know I had to pay $10 to park IN the hotel lot. Ridiculous. It’s parking lot, not a garage or gated lot. :-/

We had a comfortable stay. Liked walking distance to downtown and hammonds field. All things were nice as you might expect for a large hotel like this. Disappointed that they felt 1 washcloth and 1 towel each would suffice for our 3 day stay. No housekeeping to replenish or clean.

Great staff - mediocre hotel - crap portal

The hotel was slightly above average only because the staff I interacted with were all amazingly friendly, accommodating, knowledgable, and helpful. That's where the "qvove average" ends. Issues: 1) As Hotels.com usually does feom my experience - they screwed up the reservation. I was traveling with a friend, requiring two queen beds, and this is what I booked thru Hotels.com. When we arrived, the hotel said that there wer only "king" rooms. Thankfully they accommodated us but I slept on an uncomfortable sofa bed for a few nights. I heard there were 5 or more other pairs of friends who experienced the same issue. I am certain this was an expedia/hotels.com issue - not the hotel's. 2) We never had housekeeping enter the room (5 nights). 3) When trying to get service (ie sheets for the pull-out sofa bed) we called the front desk and the only option was to speak the request to an automated system, which (no surprise) did not deliver. After a few hours I had to go to the front desk to ask for sheets in-person. Quite poor - from a customer-service perspective, despite the stellar personal care from the staff & management - once we walked to the front desk. Overall - the place was tired, but for the price - it was satisfactory and the staff was very nice.

The hotel itself was very nice and clean, however we paid extra for a pool side room... only to find out there was no water in the pool..... our room was next to the elevator and the bar which turned out to be a very loud experience. Over all we liked the hotel - just not the noise..
