Online they make it seem like it’s a beautiful spacious beautiful hotel …well its not the rooms are small and so is the bathroom area I paid $300 for one night ..not worth it I’m sorry. Snack area was not fully stocked not enough options …maybe not for a family stay it’s more for couples

It was quiet, the first room was poorly cleaned, rest room smelled and when we used the heating it smelled like burnt oil. Front office gave us a cleaner room

The first room I received was a handicap room with low bed and closet. Called front desk and they were able to assign me a regular room which was more appropiate.

We stayed 2 days and 2 nights and not once did room service come by. There were also a lot of hidden fees I didn’t appreciate, like parking and incidentals? Plus they put a hold on a card anyway
