The pool is closed, and this was one of the main reasons we picked this hotel. Parking is expensive. Overall however good experience

I didn’t like that the pool was closed, on the website and Travelocity website it doesn’t state the pool is closed. The reason I stayed at the hotel was to give my kids a little break from everything going on and let them swim. Unfortunately they were not able to use that amenity. Very disappointing.

Within five minutes of my check in, I had my first complaint. My initial room had not one but TWO bugs in two different areas. I was disgusted and immediately ready to check back out. My friend who was staying with me and celebrating her birthday decided she would call the front desk. She called the front desk to inform them we had found bugs and the front desk associate did not respond with the urgency to do anything about it. We then were assigned another room that we couldn’t check in ourselves and had to wait on an engineer to let us in. The key system was down and we did not receive our keys until hours later. The second room we checked in was just decent. There was water damage on the ceiling in the shower which was not pretty to look at.

Lots to see and eat within walking distance. Rooms were nicely furnished. (The door stuck a bit, but wasn't a concern for me once I knew it needed to be elbowed open and shut-something to maybe check for that room.) breakfast was very good-not to be missed as it's included. not the standard free breakfast at a hotel. the travelocity times are wrong though --breakfast is 6-930am m-f and 7-1030am s-s. they also have social hours 5-7pm m-t though I wasn't present for those days. still a nice thing to know they have. recommend them-very courteous and clean establishment

Everyone at the front desk was very nice and we even got a free dessert coupon for a restaurant down the street called City Tap House (which we highly recommend). We got a top floor room with a beautiful view, and the room was cool and clean. Highly recommend this place.

This was close to location that I had to go to. Constant dinging in living room/kitchen area like a low battery was needed in something.
