Our stay for a long weekend was excellent. Staff were friendly and accommodating. We ate breakfast and a late night snack at the restaurant within the hotel which was very good! Rooms were a nice size and clean. Pool was clean and very big. We would stay here again next time we’re in the area!

They put us in a room the farthest from the elevators and main lobby and some kind of air system kept turning off and on all night. No sleep. The toilet was so low to the floor my wife who is handicaped could not get up off it. I had to borrow a porta potty from one of my kids. Otherwise it was a nice room. Expedia get the poor rooms?

The rooms were nice. The bedside wall tables were placed too far away from the bed. This meant a person had to get up from the bed to place anything on the tables like glasses, cups, etc.

The room was very old and beat up. Yet we paid the same as our family that had a totally updated room. Plus my husband has Parkinson’s and was having trouble walking and they put us on forth floor and when I asked for a wheelchair you did not have any on-site.

I booked my stay through Expedia, I have always done the reserve now pay later option and have never had an issue at check in, when I arrived to check in the hotel desk employee that was checking me in, asked for my name and then immediately said we already charged the card you booked the room with on Expedia. And that is not the card I wanted to use I never gave authorization for him to do so or the hotel in general. That is why I always use the pay at hotel option because what if I wanted to pay cash for the room or use a different card at the time of the stay. He did reverse the transaction and told me it would show back up in my account during the week. It was still not ok doing without authorization. He also never once asked to verify my Id or drivers license. I could have been anyone using someone’s reservation.

It took forever to check in. Not because there was a crowd. They could not find my reservation on the computer. They asked me my name numerous times but would not look at the Expedia e-mail confirming the reservation. Finally, the woman asked me for my last name AGAIN and she found the guy as searching on my first name. From then, everything went fine.

Front desk experience was terrible. Staff was rude and arrogant. She escalated the conversation, we got to the brink of arguing. Front desk is hotel’s first and best opportunity for leaving goos impression. Hotel mng. shouldn’t waste this opportunity with staff who are not up for the job.

We mistakenly left two important pieces of luggage in our room.

I am grateful for the kindness and the professionalism of the staff who helped us. Thank you!!

Picked the hotel for location. Was offered free breakfast (by Hotels) for an added fee. DON'T Bother. when asking the front desk they denied the ('free' breakfasts) just as well as not great and overpriced. Plenty of local establishments that do a better job for less $$$. Since Hotels got bought seems to have gone downhill.

We stayed here for a wedding. The room was clean, bed was ok, the staff was friendly but the food in the restaurant was mediocre and the prices were ridiculously high. It cost the 2 of us is almost $50 for a simple eggs, toast & sausage breakfast with coffee. We were charged $3.00 each for a teacup of coffee that was being served for free just around the corner in the lobby. Overall, the stay was fine but note to self, don’t eat at the hotel restaurant.
