Are you sure this is a Radisson?

The Wi-Fi was unusable, the grab and go breakfast was very lame considering this is a Radisson, they gave us the wrong room that we booked, they put us then in the right room, but was charged extra for it, cable had one channel, but the band was very comfortable and the staff was friendly and tried to be accommodating.

Comfortable, but aesthetically unpleasing

Overall, the stay was good. It was quiet, clean, and the bed comfortable. We noticed that the hotel is about to be remodeled? We concur that this is necessary. The large sign near the highway is not illuminated at night, making it difficult to see the entrance, The outside structure is unattractive. The inside of the hotel is dark and blah. The lights are a mixture of daylight bright and warm white LED bulbs, which indicate a lack of attention to details. I summary, the place needs a decorator's eye, a freshening, and attention to details going forward.

The room was fine. The breakfast, however, was very disappointing. No decent choices for children. Also, very limited television channels. Again, not much to entertain children. Would not stay here again.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Our main problem was that the walls in the rooms were terribly thin. The person next to us had their TV blaring loudly all night long and my husband and I didn’t get any sleep. I did call the front desk in the middle of the night and asked them to take care of this and they said they would look into it. Nothing was done. Spent quite a bit of time trying to talk to management about reducing our bill due to no sleep. They said they would give us a certain amount of money off of the rate and as of today (6 days), we have not seen that credit come through. Also we were surprised at a Radisson hotel only having choice of a cold breakfast with nothing hot. The last thing I will mention is that the lobby area and our room smelled of a cleaning solution that I was very sensitive to.

Great bed dirty room

It was filthy underneath the bed. The bathroom floor was disgusting. The internet with disconnect and reconnect all night. But it had one of the best beds I've slept in so there's a plus.
