The property itself is nice. It's located in an office park so there's nothing at walking distance. The Hotel overall was clean, however, its an older hotel and the entire second floor and ny room smelled like old cigarettes. I am sure it's embedded into the building and they can't get rid of it, I had a headache the entire first night. The lobby also smelled like natural gas; im not sure if that's the norm. I aslo had a bad experience with the shuttle service. I was told it lest to the airport at the top of each hour, however when I arrived at the lobby i was told they would not be shuttling guests because they had a "special group " to transport and if i wanted to get a ride I would have to wait for the next hour. OUTSIDE of that, the cleaning staff, the front desk and the syat the coffee shop were great

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff left our room door open for an unknown period of time (we were gone about 10 hours) , didn't replace dirty towels, put trashcan on top of suitcases instead of putting it back in the bathroom. Dirty glassware was left in the room each day. Busy mother's day & graduation weekend for them but these things should be almost muscle memory items to do. Bar service was slow which seems odd as this is generally a money maker... it was not busy. Head bartender seemed to deliberately slow walk ingredients for our drinks. Can't recommend this place

Graduation Day Stay

The stay was amazing. I could check in late, get to my room, and relax, and the hotel had amazing amenities. Because I was only there for a night, I could not enjoy them all! The addition of a microwave would be helpful for future guests.
