Check in was smooth and easy. Rooms were a little out dated and small. No in room refrigerator which was an inconvenience. Lot of noise in the hallways especially late at night.

So much potential being wasted

There is so much potential in this property but it needs some significant TLC. Neither the restaurant nor the bar were open, front desk staff stated being short staffed has led to the closures. Many spots of water damage and/or mold on walls and ceilings as well as debris on the floors from walls deteriorating. Someone must have pulled an alarm because every room was triggered around 10:30pm for a couple of minutes and no effort was made to apologize or correct the disturbance. The room was FREEZING, I slept in 2 shirts and 2 pairs of socks plus sweatpants—the heat did start working sometime in the middle of the night. The shower was also cold, warming only to about lukewarm after nearly 40 minutes. Finally, during the event we attended downstairs, there was a distinct sewer smell in the hallways for the entire duration. I’d like to hope improvements are made but as of march 2025, my recommendation is stay elsewhere!

Needs help

The check in staff was great, the lobby was very nice but the room was extremely outdated. Worse than that was the fact that the heat was not turned on in our room when we arrived and it was mid February and 21 degrees outside. It didn't actually warm up until well after we went to bed. The room appeared clean at first but there was trash from other people behind the cabinet under the tv. The carpets were very dirty as well. I dont usually leave bad reviews but I just feel it needed to be said.

The room was clean and smelled nice, as was the rest of the property. The room was comfortable. There was someone's necklace that got left behind on the floor, so not sure the room got inspected too well between guests. It was a vibrant peace, so not easy to miss. Our biggest upset was the continental breakfast. They offered a couple cereal selections, but there was only 1 carton of milk in the fridge (small school box sized) and it was expired about a week ago. We opted for a bagel, wheat was the only option, and it was bit hard, so I'm guessing it sat out for a while. Put it in the toaster to soften it, then among our surprise, the 5 single serve cream cheeses were 2 weeks past the use by date. Tried a jelly instead, but the first bite, the bagel still tasted stale. Spit it out, and threw it away. There were no options for water, juice, tea, etc. Only coffee, which we did not try. A few granola bars and some apples. Nothing worth really grabbing. Note to anyone staying - skip the breakfast and opt for someplace in town.
