The staff at this facility were excellent and very accommodating! We had a few glitches with our room, but they weren’t dealbreakers. The property is undergoing a renovation and should be very nice once completed. The continental breakfast was so so, a little disappointing. I would stay here again if I were passing through.

Awful 10 minute stay
3 different card keys did not work, they finally came up and overrode the lock. Another guest had the same issue. Once inside we discovered the toilet did not flush. We were told no maintenance would be available until sometime the next day and we could use the public bathroom in the lobby. We asked for a refund, they said we had to get it from Hotels.com. We left and drove home, missing the music festival we had come to attend. When Hotels.com tried to process the refund the hotel refused, and also refused to cancel the following 2 days we had booked. We had to stop payment on our credit card.

They were in the midst of a renovation on my floor and it was loud at times. Room looked dated. Heating/Cooling unit in my room was so loud that I did not get a good nights sleep. Staff was kind and courteous. Will probably go to another hotel next time I’m in the area.
