Since you only have three handicap rooms, it would be extremely helpful if more rooms had a bar by the toliet and 2-3 bars in the shower/bathtubs for your customers to grip and hold onto getting into the tub/shower. Grab bars is becoming more important as we grow older and legs often times become weaker. The entire room doesn't need to be fully handicap - grab bars are extremely helpful for each all patrons.

First stay review
The website says parking available; failed to mention it's only valet @ $45 a night.. plus for valet, u need a $250 refundable deposit. As for the room!! The bathroom exhaust vent didn't work, the tub was very dirty, only 2 towels for registered family of 6.. Wall between kitchen sink and fridge was splattered with food. The AC's didn't work properly. There was no bedding in the room for the sofa bed, I called down for it; they told me to come get it myself!! The positive.. hotel was very clean, the check-in staff was very polite. The valet staff made the parking process easy plus he was very friendly only suggestion is- have 2 valet staff on because he was very busy!! The breakfast was delicious 😋, stocked up w/everything and the staff was VERY FRIENDLY 😁

The walls were thin, so I could hear noises from other rooms (running water, hair dryers, tvs, etc); however, my room was very clean and check in was easy and so was check out. I loved my view and the bed was comfortable. Such a convenient hotel for a one night stays.

Shuttle service stinks!!!!!
NO shuttle service when needed!!!! It is advertised but in all reality, very limited. Doctor/labs/etc/ appts. ALL start before 9 AM plus you are always supposed to be in the office at least 15 minutes before appts. Your service needs to expand hours!! Thankful for a handicap shower/bathroom BUT the shower needs a shower curtain to limit how far the floor gets wet!! A wet floor becomes a slippery floor just waiting for someone to slip and fall!! This morning, at least 1/3 to 1/2 of the floor was wet because of NO SHOWER CURTAIN!! Someone is going to fall and a lawsuit will follow.

Charged for parking. A lot of homeless people in the area. The carpet in the room has a stain. Pool area was dated. Breakfast ran out of items each day, such as butter.

We stayed just for layover, the staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming after a long travel day. I needed extra bedding sent up for the sofa bed and they were very prompt in bringing it up. The only downside was the complimentary breakfast didn’t start until 7am and we had to leave by 6:45 to catch our flight! Would have loved to have got a chance to try the breakfast!
