8/10 Very good

Very good
The bar was closed both nights due to not having staff show up to work…during the Memorial Day weekend. There was a dog that pooped on the carpet and the floor on the second floor. They were overbooked, however the customer service was outstanding and their rooms were very clean and updated. My bad experience was a one off… if it wasn’t for that it would have been a perfect stay.

Barriers in Wheelchair Accessible Room
Shelf for towels directly above grab bar, making it unusable. Light switches on most lamps unreachable. Coffee maker on top shelf of a cabinet and unreachable as well. Bed height was good - not too high. Had very few towels.

The stay was just fine. I do wish it had been a little updated. It was a little over-priced for the condition. It was mostly clean, however. Probably could've been a little cleaner. Otherwise the staff was nice and the location was good. The breakfast was also REALLY good. I stayed two days, and it was slightly different each day, which was cool. Coffee bar was good, too.

Our room smelled like a sweaty sock and there was hair stuck to the bathroom walls that clearly was not ours. The first night there was a drunken irate man shocking obscenities at the top of his lungs for HOURS and staff did nothing. I called the front desk multiple times with no answer and later we were told they couldn’t do anything for us bc we booked through Expedia. So I paid money for somewhere to sleep and couldn’t actually sleep. On top of that my children were woken up to F bombs being thrown. Ridiculous.
