Pretty dated. The carpets are very old. They are not even fitted at places on the hotel corridors. Me and my family stumbles multiple times. The breakfast staff who makes omelette a for you are very rude even though we were polite and friendly. Front desk supervisor, Eddy was nice but the staff wasn’t supportive of getting the last night refunded as it was an error. The happy hour finger food selections were awful; the worst I’ve seen and so were the drinks selection. The bathrooms have mold and exhaust don’t work. The thermostat in the room doesn’t work. It is either super cold or you need to turn it off. It doesn’t matter what you set it to; it is always cold. The bath towels are bad quality. After shower if you use it, the body will be covered with cotton lints from the towel. They changed $18 per nights for parking! Park on the bridge for free or next door city garage for $10. The only good part of this hotel is it’s proximity to downtown. Go to Staybridge next door as our friends had a way better experience there. Stay Away!

The Staff was good, shuttle service great, food good but several of the rooms with the parties I was with complained about the rooms not being clean. Ours was not, food crumbs in drawers, shower not cleaned out. Floor looked dirty. Location is great for downtown but fairly steep room rates so I expect a clean room.

Common area and breakfast are was filthy in the morning. Someone should clean breakfast area before breakfast. Tables were a mess. They said breakfast was between 6am and 9am but not even set up at 6:30. The hotel is pretty dated and in need of work. The location is great. Parking cost $18 which is fine but should be made clear to start.

It’s always such a welcoming environment! Always beautiful, free breakfast & sometimes dinner or it’s all the time! Free alcoholic drinks between 530-730. Pool was nice and warm, our room was clean and nicely kept together! Bars and food in walking distance for a fun night, and they offer to drive you if you’re intoxicated. Private parking too, or free on the bridge! Will always choose this hotel now!!
