The rooms were clean. The property was well maintained and clean. The front desk staff was nice and friendly but very young and inexperienced and seemed to get frazzled easy. A few issues: housekeeping always turned off AC and upon returning to a hot room after being at the Cincinnati Open in 90° that annoyed me. The towels were cheap & rough. Overall a decent hotel for the price.
