Lex, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The rooms of the hotel are a bit older but you can tell they do their best to keep them clean. Our tv didn’t work so that was a negative even though maintenance tried to fix it. I appreciated the breakfast coupons for morning buffet and complimentary water bottles too. The best part was the short walk to the lakefront. The worst part was the horrible parking situation.
Joelle, 1-night trip

Check in

Beautiful lobby and restaurant. Rooms are fairly spacious. The check in/check out process was long and needs work. The line was out of the door for check in with only one person working the majority of the time. Breakfast included was a nice perk and parking wasn’t too high.

1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Housekeeping short sheeted the bed. After a long exhausting trip, I wanted to slip into clean comfortable sheets, only to find my feet on a mattress pad. The bottom sheet was short from the edge of the bed causing my feet to get tangled in a cluster. It was late. The lounge lobby had empty bar glasses/napkins scattered everywhere. If they aren't concerned about the after rave party....looking like a hung over new years eve day after disaster... What makes you think a short sheet on a bed is going to be corrected??
