We are unhappy with our stay, which was marred by elevator problems. Luckily, the issue was resolved by the staff member who used a special tool to open the door, preventing my family from getting stuck. Moreover, we discovered that breakfast was not included, contrary to our expectations based on which we selected your hotel, forcing us to incur additional expenses on an already tight budget.

The hotel is nice. In the downtown area so very walkable. Parking does seem limited. Also, we were notified upon check in that they've done away with their breakfast so you may want to take that into consideration. The beds also were quite small for two people. Overall, service was good and it met our expectations.

They informed us that there is no breakfast even though i chose this place because i wanted breakfast included. Worst of all, there was a huge shindig going on in the hotel, and there was absolutely no parking available. We had to drive around and around, and finally ended up parking on the street a few blocks away. Hopefully we won't be ticketed or towed.

No breakfast was a surprise as I chose this place because it advertised having breakfast. Only super brutal coffee and hot water for tea. The outside parking is convenient but difficult for getting in and out. The staff was kind and all apologized for no breakfast which was discontinued just before Thanksgiving weekend 😕. No rebate or offer for compensation for the inconvenience of having no breakfast. A Pop tart from the limited vending machine was unsatisfactory. It seems this hotel is in transition but decisions being made regarding that do not honor their promises or their guests. I hope they can do better. Hotels.com should intervene for the guests who booked there and did not receive what they paid for.

The hotel is dated and is in need of a full upgrade and renovation. I expected a “real” buffet breakfast but only got watered down coffee and packaged, overly sweet muffins. The main reasons, I booked this hotel was location, free buffet breakfast and the gym. The gym was HORRIBLE, it should have been closed for the mildew and mold. Clearly, this hotel needs a lot of work. I gave a 3 stars because the staff were friendly, hospitable and helpful.

Hotel could use some updates. Some things that need to be replaced have simply been repaired but it's clear that the repairs should be temporary but no indication of permanent repair/replacement (carpet in halls, bath floor, etc). The mattresses also need to be replaced.
