The room had a bug problem. A beetle type bug in the bathroom. Also ants on the bed and bedside table. I wanted ice so I went to 2 ice machines on the my floor. Neither had ice. The vending machine was out of water. It's a bummer they no longer have a gift shop - instead they have a sundry area with a very small selection of snacks. On the plus side, that is available 24/7.

I don't recall booking a handicap accessible room but that is what we were put in. Shower was not the cleanest. And, upon arrival the heat was broken. Our room was freezing until Saturday evening when maintenance was in to fix it. Then, it was unbearably hot. Don't feel like we should be paying full price for a room with broken heat when it is absolutely freezing outside. I emailed the manager and have not heard back.

The staff was helpful and friendly! I have no complaints about what they did to help us out. But when we got to our room the room was 48° inside. It would not heat up above 53°. I called down to front desk they sent a technician up and he determined the heater was not working. At that moment they had no similar rooms available and offered us a room with a pull out or try to fix it. I opted for them to try and fix it. They were unable to fix the heat quickly and found us another room. But moving rooms at midnight when you have to be up early the next morning was incredibly annoying.
