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.

Everything was great. Only feedback is that the hot water in the shower took several minutes to heat up, causing delay and water waste.

When we arrived the heat was blowing so hot and would not cool down. Very thankful for the window. Your Maintenance guy arrived within a few minutes, got to work and resolved the issue. Just what any Maintenance guy would do but.... he was so kind, friendly and 100% customer service focused. He deserves something extra as a perk. Well done Maintenance guy, we should have gotten your name.

Breakfast buffet - great. Service - great and friendly. Enjoyed it. The Legends- not a good experience. Started with ordering a Cheesesteak at Noon on a Friday- “sorry, we don’t have any.” Ummm. Weird but Ok. Got drink orders wrong, too. Waiter not so friendly, as well. These are not dealbreakers but went there for dinner. Was seated by hostess (place wasn’t that crowded). Waited over 15 mins - no one came to our table. We left. Just a lot of little things like these added up throughout the weekend to make the stay very average.

The heat in our room did not work and it was very cold. Not to sound like a "Karen" but I felt we should have been compensated for that. We were only there one night and at check out I let them know and was told that they were sorry about that and we were all set. No compensation for a miserable night offered.
