Nice location, friendly service. But….the television situation is a mess. 4 trips to the front desk, very complicated system to operate the tv. Channel buttons don’t work, on purpose. You have to type in each number and can’t just scroll around. Also, my shower head dripped the entire time, not an issue until trying to sleep. I’ve stayed here a few times and will stay again, but could use some updates on small things.

We called in advance to hotel to make sure hottub was working, they told us it was, when we arrived, and after a day of sports, we went to hottub, and it was not working... whoever did the remodeling on hotel, should have been fired on day 1. Hotel room was missing curtains, kept us awake with light shining thru blinds. I won't be back to this hotel again

It was okay for a one night stay. But the outside of the building had pieces of the buildings stonework falling off, part of the awning was missing. Inside the walls were patched up, missing wall paper, hallways and rooms not lit well. You could hear everything through the walls. The room itself was fine other than some of the plugs didn’t work. It was hard to find seating at breakfast and they ran out of a lot of food by 8am. Trash was also overflowing at breakfast so people were just stacking plates by the garbage.

Needs a Little Love!

Great breakfast serving many people this morning and staff was working hard to please guests. EXCELLENT coffee! Only one elevator working and thus with a full house waiting a bit and crowed elevators. TV system in the rooms just beyond understanding...No instructions on how to use, where stations were...nothing printed and remote did not work as expected.

TV did not work. ShPower door I installed backward, preventing use of grab bar, hitting shower head, and hanging the towel bar on the inside where it would get wet. Room phone would not connect to front desk.
