Very close to everything we wanted to do. The staff was exceptional and told us about two extra things that we could do and they were both worth the time we spent there.

Allison

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
My room was clean and comfortable. The front desk staff was very accommodating and professional. The only unpleasant experience I had was during breakfast one morning. The staff attendant monitoring the breakfast area was extremely rude. I approached the area and she appeared to be restocking utensils and condiments. I proceeded to make my plate and I spilled a tiny drop of sausage gravy on the counter and she literally stopped what she was doing and stared at what spilled on to the counter. I wiped it up. She was visibly annoyed and stated “I’ll get it”. I apologized for the spill and said to her “you look upset” and she stated “I don’t look any way. If I was upset I wouldn’t be at work.” All of this attitude for a tiny drop of sausage gravy I spilled on the counter that I wiped up. It was extremely uncalled for and honestly because of this experience I will choose a different hotel the next time I’m in town.

Had some issues with my room. The safe was left locked and no one was on duty to unlock it. The phone in the room didn’t work so I could not call the front desk. The shower head was loose and sprayed water all over the ceiling and floor. I managed to tighten it by hand and use the shower. Not very good attention to detail for a hotel room costing mid three hundred $ for the night!
