Kirk

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The rooms are nice but small. Not much in the way of storage - two drawers and half a closet for hanging clothes. The free breakfast is disorganized and sparse. Oftentimes there's a lack of flatware and glasses. The attending staff just feels overwhelmed. During my stay I returned to the hotel to discover fire engines in front and fireman inside. No one seemed to know what was going on. Finally I was told it would be 3 hours before anyone could get in their rooms. Definitely NOT the way to handle the situation. And when I finally returned, I was told it was some problem with the dryer and not operating it correctly. No apology. No acknowledgement of the inconvenience. And certainly no adjustment to my bill. There's a distinct lack of professionalism here. Maybe better after more time and training but I doubt I'll be going back to see. There's better places to stay.
