The toilet didn't flush, the bathroom sink was plugged and leaked below, fridge didn't work, TV in living room didn't work, bathroom door hinges were rusty, all this was after renovating! The maintenance staff was totally useless!

There was construction going on past 5:30 on Saturday evening and it started around 9:30 Sunday morning. We were not aware of the hotel was being remodeled and would not have stayed there otherwise!

Unfortunately there was only one person at the front desk and had to wait almost 25 minutes to get waited on. Limited amenities because of construction and lack of staff (no shuttle service, limited breakfast hours, bar not open) the next morning we also had no soap for the shower snd NO hot water). Coffee creamer was not restocked. Been staying there for years but plan on looking elsewhere next trip
