Disappointing!

Big dogs barked in a room across the hall till late at night. I’ m All for pet friendly but put all those rooms together on one floor. Room was dirty. Fan squealed in the bathroom. Mini fridge in room did not work. Rooms needed updates. Ice machine did not work on our floor. Cold breakfast option, but coffee was good.

This property was a bit dated which is fine as long as it’s clean. I cannot say that our room met any cleanliness standards, from the toilet having spots on it to the flat surfaces like the desk having very visible grime and smudges on it. This made me question what else was not clean and made for a not so relaxing stay.

While the room was clean enough, the hotel over all is in need of a refresh. Lots of broken tiles in the room and common area's and a broken door knob/lock on the bathroom door.

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.
