The property was fine and appears well-maintained. The management is terrible. I was there for a medical conference that was actually held there in the ball room. On the last day, our conference was not ending until 12 noon but check out was at 11. My husband had to gather things and go sit in the lobby for an hour with all of our bags because the manager refused to let us have a late checkout- I only asked for an hour. He stated that they were going to have a lot of guests arriving and they needed the rooms (this was on a Sunday so I highly doubt that). He also lied that he was giving me the room rate for the conference which in reality, he did not. We won't be back and it's all because of this manager.

Staff were very friendly. Breakfast buffet was pricey at $25/per. Room doors were in rough shape and significant gap at bottom of room door in 133, leaving a good amount of light coming in at night from parking lot. Beds were disappointing from a comfort standpoint. Property in general looked amazing.
