Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We were there for Graduation ceremonies at the University. The hotel was close and convenient. The area had many dining options just a short drive away. We did not eat at the hotel but it looked inviting.
I was charged an additional $75 that was not mentioned on the website, pool was closed due to renovation (until mid-August), as soon as we walked into our room you can feel how muggy it was, even with the AC on.
We paid $445.85 for one night. Out the gate the staff was arrogant at check in. We were attending the Hot Rod Power Tour Event that was across the street. After check in we had pulled our classic car over to the side of the parking lot to make a repair. The receptionist came out and said right out the gate that if we didn't pay for a room that we had to go. She didn't ask if we were ok, or if we needed help. Just straight out the gate, if you haven't paid you got to leave. I own several businesses, and we would never treat someone like that. Luky for us we had a room and made our repair so we could continue to the next venue. That evening everyone was sitting around talking and hanging out. The staff came around and made it very clear that they would call the police if anyone revved their engine. They stood outside as if they wanted to have confrontation.
The next morning there was no breakfast at all. They said the cook had called in sick AGAIN. When we asked if they were offering anything they were very rude about the NO! Staff is very arrogant, rude and disrespectful. completely overpriced. I would not stay at this hotel ever again. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
I hardly ever give bad reviews, but this one deserves one. The building itself is a good average hotel, but I can't stress enough its way overpriced, and the staff is looking to cause you trouble or even jail.
Consider you warned and stay away.
Just would have liked one drink at the bar after traveling all day, oops bartender has no clue how to make a drink..... so I ask for a bud light. How much do I owe is what I ask... crickets and a blank stare.
She says idk how to make that drink.
It's the effing special on the board....
Everything was amazing. The people we so friendly. No issues
The only issues i had with it were the pool was closed. I understand it happens just didn't gint out till i got there it was down.
And the only other thing i had issues with is the breakfast was nasty.... the scramble eggs were by far the worst i have ever had. They weren't cooked all the way were still runny and we just plane disgusting. Was very disappointed payed extra for a disgusting breakfast. Was not happy about it at all
We arrived at the property and the gentleman at check in was good. Got up to the room and it smelled like raw sewage. We were leaving for a bit so we figured when we arrived back it would be gone. Got back to the room and it still smelled, tried to call the front desk and kept getting a busy signal so we went to bed. woke up this morning and tried to connect to WiFi and wouldn’t work kept saying invalid room number, we then we tried to make coffee and there were no cups or reg coffee pods, so we decided to just go out and get coffee. Tried to take a shower and there was no hot water. As we were leaving we stopped at the front desk and explained the issues and lady simply stated “sorry about that” I will not be returning to this property.
We chose this property because of its proximity to the Coliseum for an event we were attending. Beware, it is not walkable, despite how close it is. No sidewalks and heavy traffic on a major thoroughfare. The shower is super narrow for anyone who might be claustrophobic or a little on the heavy side. But otherwise nice property.
We stayed here because we needed the convenience of grabbing breakfast on our way out to early tournaments. It’s Mother’s Day and they aren’t having an early breakfast. We were offered $25 Mother’s Day brunch that starts at 10. We need to leave by 7.
And the pool was closed for maintenance
This hotel needs an upgrade desperately! Pkease get rid of the stained nasty carpeting in the rooms. Also the carpet in the hallway on the 3rd floor is buckled and is an extreme tripping hazard.
The staff is excellent! Haley was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Disappointed that pool was not open and we were not notified.
The room was clean and perfect temperature. This this our third year in a row attending the Vera Bradley sale and it convinced to stay across the road from the event.
