Hotel changed our check-in time by email due to a football game (to around 10 PM…?). The email was sent two days before the stay. Poor customer service experience as a result.

Room was spacious and clean. Food from restaurant was excellent although we had to get takeout because they were no longer seating guests but people who came after us who were pushy got seated. Water in shower only got to lukewarm not hot. Perfect location for football games as we did not wait in any traffic, was easy to get to, and close. Overall would stay again.
