The first room that they gave us flooded in a matter of an hour. And the second room had a ton of mold on the ceiling, the paint was falling off the wall, there was a bunch of hair in the sheets and on both beds and there was a foul odor. When I called the front desk again, they told us that there wasn’t anything more they could do and that was the wrong answer.

Continental free breakfast was minimal at best. No bagels, danish, etc. Just plastic wrap energy bars and such. Ended up just checking out and leaving without breakfast. Website said there was a gym, but it wasn't open and has not been open since the pandemic.

Just flew in from Colorado. The late night front desk staff was friendly. When I told her our situation (our father died today), she was empathetic. Gave us a nice quiet room.

Hotel was clean and rooms were nice. Bed was too hard and very uncomfortable, did not get much sleep. Continental breakfast was not very big and choices of what to have were only waffles or cereal. The breakfast room was very small too and we ended up eating out which cost a lot for us!Toilet flushing power was too weak and waste did not go down, we felt very bad about having to leave without being able to flush properly! All in all I would not rate the hotel bad it just needs to upgrade a few things to make the stay comfortable!
