The hot water was off for more than half the day. They never provided a timeframe that it would be fixed. My wife and I had to tough out a cold shower before leaving for our event. To make matters worse the 2nd elevator was broke when we had to leave. Had to take the stairs and walk around the building to the parking garage. 1st elevator was down for maintenance our entire stay!

I was very disappointed that we did not get room cleaning at all over our 3 day stay. We had to go get coffee pods, towels and anything else we needed in the room. I'd of thought that at least we should have had fresh towels, trash pick and beds made for the cost of the rooms per night.
- 3/5
Outside, parking was a major issue. The only area not parked full had screws from the remodel all over the pavement. I picked up many. The parking garage had half the slots filled with remodel junk. A better organized remodel could alleviate some of this issue. Doubt I would stay here again.

The hotel was super clean and the room I had was recently updated. I had plenty of room for myself and my belongings. I was able to unpack on my first day for easy access during my stay. The bathroom had shelves! And a light right in the roomy tub/shower. There were no strange smells and the best was so comfortable, I wanted to bring it home.

I specifically stay at this hotel because it had a restaurant and bar. Both of which were demolished and under construction. We had to enter through the back of the building, which was littered with garbage and the temporary check-in area was a disaster area, very unhappy!

The hotel was under MAJOR renovations. Services such as the gym was unavailable. Navigating through work site that doubled up as a hotel was unpleasant. The parking situation was less than ideal. When discussed with the staff, I was dismissed.

I usually stay at this location due to it being very close to my sons college. But they dont have a school discount. This time on my stay my room had mold in the bathroom shower and im allergic to mold but was only a one night stay. Check in was horrible my handicap cousin needed to use the rest room while checking in and was told their was no restroom available for regular people to utilize. Then provided a key to another room to use, i understand that its under construction and the kitchen was closed but was open for breakfast. I wish i had known before my stay that the kitchen was closed i would have made different accommodations before my visit. Staff needs customer service etiquette classes so they can learn that talking about handicap people is offensive and wrong. Other then that my stay was quiet.
- 3/5
Was very upset that none of the amenities were available. They said it had pool and the pool’s been closed for a long period of time but yet they still have the signs up on the elevator stating a pool and spa. They never notified anyone that there was renovations going on on their website until we already were there Very disappointed with notification because I definitely would’ve not picked there. It may have possibilities after renovation, but people really should be notified and if they say they did, it definitely wasn’t on there because I would’ve never picked it.

My experience at your hotel has been good overall except the little incident that happened when my girlfriend and I were at the lobby heading to get our buffet breakfast. This happened around 8 AM. I said good morning to the staff 3 staff members they all said back expect that Chinese staff lady, not only she did not say good morning back but she was giving me dirty looks for no reason. I don’t know this lady and I’m not sure I understood her behavior. This is really shocking to me, unprofessional and unfortunate.

On all the booking sites this hotel is advertised as having a pool and hot tub.. I chose to pay more for a hotel with a pool but could have chosen a hotel with the same amenities that INCLUDED complementary breakfast (you have to pay $10 here) only to find out when I got there that there’s no pool and hasn’t been for a LONG time…I will say the staff was very courteous and kind but this place is clearly getting a bit run down, needs some TLC and needs to stop falsely advertising that they have a pool…

Very ordinary for the price. Very antiquated.

The bed sheets on one of the beds appeared dirty. The stain had a texture to it. I called for new sheets and the person on duty informed us that there was no maid service for that day. I told him that I would change the sheets myself. But, he was so busy he never got a chance to bring us new sheets. So, I just removed the sheet and put it on the floor. Otherwise, it was a good stay.

I thought staff was very pleasant easy to work with. How soft pillows were and mattress great. HOWEVER they charged me 50. $ for what I don,t know .They were the ones that took the money out.But when I checked out said that I got the room thru Expedia and that you would give the 50, back. Is that true?

The location was good for the reason for use. However, we had bugs (stink bugs) in the room. The building is a smoke free building and that's what we understood, however the place smelled of smoke so bad we had to advise the front desk. Was not since of emergency to find out who and fix, they just turned the air on higher so hide the smell. Place seems like a good place to spend the night, but the beds were caved in the center, so you had to try and sleep on the edge. Definitely, will not stay at this location again.
