I have been staying at this hotel for 25 years. I had just been driving for 10 hours and realized it was unsafe to keep driving and I was having a medical issue where I needed a shower asap and rest, so I made the reservation via Expedia at 3. Arrived at 4pm and didn’t get my room until nearly 5pm. Staff was so rude and slow. I told them I needed to get to my room asap due to personal medical issue and they were unresponsive, rude, and painfully slow at getting me my room. Then I got there and there was no tub, which I had requested for said medical issue. Took them 10 minutes to move me. Then I got locked out this morning and took another 10 minutes to get someone to even acknowledge me. Get better staff!!! Train them to be human and compassionate. I will never stay here again. It was the opposite of what I needed after driving for 10 Hours straight and being sick. I missed breakfast due to slow nature of getting me back into my room and then the coffee machine was out.

We were disappointed with this hotel. The air conditioning did not cool down our room and the hotel itself was very warm and stuffy. There wasn't a message about the towels and rooms not being cleaned daily, which we found out on our third day when we ran out of clean towels. My daughter was in a wheelchair so we requested a walk -in shower with with accommodations. The first room she was in had a tub/shower; the second room had a walk-in shower, but it didn't have a seat for her. The front desk said they removed all of the seats last year even though the room is pictured with a seat in the shower. The hotel ended up buying a shower seat and had it delivered to her. One elevator of two wasn't working throughout our 5-day stay which created a fire hazard. With my daughter in a wheelchair, this worried us because her room was in the back part of the hotel with the out-of-service elevator. The breakfast buffet was very good with a lot of seating and often-replenished food. The omelet-to-order bar was fantastic. This sets the hotel apart from others. The hotel was very busy with a large group of students staying. We didn't hear any noise from the bar area or restaurant as we were in a corner room. General accommodations were comfortable. An extra blanket would have been nice to have for the person who slept on the couch. I'd probably stay here again for the location, but I'd stay in the fall and winter when it's cooler outside so the air-conditioning isn't struggling.

Property was wonderful, clean and tidy. Good breakfast selection, nice quiet rooms. Their laundry room was small but efficient, they do offer laundry service as well! Only thing I didn’t appreciate was the bachelorette party or whatever was happening and the vomit stains outside our room the next morning. Nothing against the hotel at all, they did attempt to clean up the vomit stains.

The front desk hotel staff we encountered were not very hospitable. No smile from Liam, he really hated his job. No liquid soap in the shower. Remote control batteries were dead. Spider in the room. Rude housemaid whom knocked on our door 1 hour before checkout to ask us when we were leaving; I've never experienced that before. The female who helped us at the in-hotel restaurant was pleasant. But the young male whom delivered the food, again very unpleasant no smile, hated his job. Great view looking out our room window, but the bird sh*t on it ruined it all. We will never be staying at this hotel again.

Not great

Check in was good, very fast. Everything beyond check in was not good. Dirty room, shower and kitchenette area had stains and mini fridge had spilled liquid stains. Room service took over an hour and a half so i decided to walk to the restaurant and pick it up. Employee at restaurant said he brought it to a different room. He retrieved it and gave it to me, said it was still good to eat as not much time passed. One hour after eating i got pretty sick and spent next two hours in bathroom. Ended up leaving the hotel at 11pm in search of a different place.
