The hotel lobby, hall-ways, and room were all hot. It took a couple of hours to cool the room down to where we could sleep. The ice machine on our floor was broken. The Fitness Room smelled like a cat had been locked inside for days; I couldn’t go inside the room it was so bad. Glad I was warned by another guest. The breakfast was not much but got us on the road.

We were there Wednesday. Check in is at 3pm. We got there at 1:50. Yes we know it's early. But we stay in a lot of hotels here and there and if we were early like this they would ok to check in. We drove 4 hrs. The guy at the desk was.very rude. Gave us an attitude didn't even say hi or anything.. just my name and he tells us it's to. early to come back at 2:30. I said we drove 4 hrs and were tired. Just wanted to shower and rest before we went to the game..nope no compassion. So we basically just drove around for 45 minutes. Went back it was 240 and the same thing. No hi nothing just name for the room. We got to the room. The AC was off. It was 90 degrees outside. So it was a little stuffy and warm.. we turned the AC on..In a few minutes we know why, it was loud and rattled and made this other awful sound. The fridge wasn't working at all. The sheets had stains and the one pillow case. We were going to ask for another room but didn't want to go through asking this guy for anything..so we figured it was only one night. And we weren't going to be in the room much except to sleep. The shower was good..nice pressure..But the shower curtain could definitely needed to be washed. They have free breakfast from 6am to 9am..we were there a little before 8am. Omg the worst breakfast we have ever had in a hotel. Worst!!. There was hardly anything left. No mix for waffles. The tray had eggs and sausage patty in was empty..the orange juice was so watered down no milk for coffee or cereal.

Checked in right at 3pm, first in line so quick check in. Walk into our room, 103, and I can smell marijuana. I don’t care. Doesn’t bother me, but I don’t want a smoke fee. My wife lets the clerk know who then shakes her head and says “not possible. This is a smokeless facility.” It was mentioned as a courtesy not to in returned be made felt like a liar. The bed closest to the window sinks in the middle and there are multiple brown stains on the box spring at the head of the bed. Really unfortunate experience for $350.

I loved the Daniella's restaurant, shoes stuck to the floor a bit though. Breakfast was uneventful. Cig butts all over the ground outside, kind of gross.
