This was a great place near everything we needed. Staff was amazing. The beds were way too firm for me and the hot water never really got hot. Food was good, but coffee was never very strong. Everything was clean and bright and a fun place to hang out with family.

Manager missed customer service class.
My stay occurred during the nationwide computer glitch which caused them to have no room key access. They had to walk us to our rooms to unlock them every time we left the room. We understood that this wasn’t their fault and took it in stride. Then they had no milk or syrup on the breakfast buffet. Upon checkout I suggested to them that they should have run to the grocery store for milk and syrup to keep their already upset guests appeased. The manager became verbally abusive towards me. Everyone else on staff was lovely and helpful. She should be fired. I would have stayed there again up until that point. She should not work in customer service. I will never stay there again.
