Graduation & Mother's Day Bonus

We were there to celebrate our daughter's graduation. When we woke up the next morning (Mother's Day), all the graduation decorations were replaced with Mother's Day in the buffet room! Lori handed out Mother's Day cards to all the moms and had chocolates out for the taking. What a lovely gesture. Lori is a gem and we look forward to seeing her on every visit there!

The rooms were nice and the breakfast was wonderful. However, our room was never cleaned in our three day stay. The sliding door exit was broken. Overall it was nice but needs some updates.

The front desk staff person named Elsy (I hope that's how it is spelled), was absolutely outstanding. She went above and beyond with her help and service. I was extremely disappointed that there was no standard way to help a guest with luggage. I am handicapped and but for Elsy's assistance would not have been able to get it inside. The totally unusable and confusing remote control - she came to the room and taught me how to use it. When housekeeping failed to tend to my room, she came (at about 6 pm) and did it herself. She was totally wonderful.

Nice stay, but limted access in the east wing

Hotel was very nice. Morning breakfast is a nice plus. 24 hour coffee and juice bar very nice. 2 negatives, but not deal breakers. 1) I was given a room on the second floor, Room number 269. I was told by the front desk clerk that i could access the room from the lobby by taking the 1 elevator in the hotel and go the the west wing, where my room was located. Unfortunately upon reaching the second floor the hallway dead-ended at room 257. The only way to access the 2nd floor in the west wing was to go back down to the first floor via the lobby elevator and roll my cart full of luggage and belongings the length of the first floor and find out there wasn't an elevator to the second floor, only stairs. I had to carry all of my belongings up the stairs to get to my room. When i asked the front desk clerk, who was very nice, she had no idea the the only way to access the second floor in the west wing was via stairs. Thankfully im not elderly or disabled in anyway. Either the front desk clerks need to be more knowledgeable about the hotel layout and give guest correct directions on how to access that wing and inform guests that there isnt an elevator or install an elevator at that end of the building or a bridge from the second floor east wing to the second floor west wing. 2) Our keycards had to be reprogrammed multiple times. They kept losing the access information.

I was disappointed. The bed was much to soft. The toilet seat was loose. The sink had no stopper. The sink leaked from the bottom which caused a puddle on the floor. In other times when we stayed there, we had no issues and were very satisfied. Hopefully, the rooms will be better maintained.
