I love about the breakfast. The only thing I don’t like they don’t let us know. They’re doing construction. I didn’t get enough sleep. They already starting at 8 o’clock in the morning, I called the front desk what’s going on? She told me she’s gonna ask the Management if we can get a new room no response very bad

I won’t say much, except that we are a repeat customer for many years. Perfect location with family and kids to hang out in evenings. Newly opened Target at walking distance is good. Just hoping they open up indoor pool and spa soon. Limited breakfast options, typical of most chain hotels nowadays.

We stayed in a room that had a terrible smell and we had to leave our windows open so the smell could leave. It didn’t work and we had to sleep with the widows open. The door got stuck and when we mentioned it to the front desk we were told we had to come back the next morning to get it fixed. The lock would get stuck and we had to spend over 10 minutes trying to get out of our room. The next morning we missed breakfast since we were too tired to try and open the door that was stuck again. We called the front and they had to bring two people to help. One person passed the drill to us and we ended up having to unscrew the windows so they could jump inside the room. We had to miss our morning plans. They had told us we had to come to the front desk at 6am! Very inconvenient for our stay. We were able to get a room out last night but it was very uncomfortable and unsafe to have to be in a room with poor ventilation and bad smell, and unsafe conditions.
