Not clean and very unprofessional staff

Staff was very unprofessional and not accomodating to any needs. Our ice machine was not working in the room and we asked Emily for ice and she lied and said they did not have any. Our other family that we were with had gotten ice since theirs was not working either from the check in lady that was working before Emily. We were in town for basketball and emily wouldn't change the lobby tv that no one was watching to PBS so we could watch the game. Emily was more concerned with her dog that she brought to work than the guests that were there. She took many breaks and went outside with her dog often. At breakfast, all the bagels were old and dried out. The breakfast selection was not very good either. Very minimal and all sugary options.

We love the set up of the rooms with the kitchen and living room area, without having to pay suite prices. The staff is always nice and friendly too. Cons - hard for more than one person to get ready at the same time because the bathroom vanity is in the shower/toilet space rather than outside it. There is a mirror outside it though so I am able to put make up on while my husband showers. They also could have a better selection for breakfast. But that is also why we like the kitchen in the room. It helps save on food costs when traveling, and we can fix our coffee the way we like it! Note coffee maker only takes single pods if bringing extras from home.
