Check in was simple. Room was ok. Could use more blankets or a bedspread. There was a splatter of something on the ceiling over bed. Breakfast not as good as it was last year with less options and same thing every day. Noisy neighbors late into the night.

Last time that I went there wasn’t a pleasant experience, but this time the staff was super professional and friendly. The lounge was decorated nicely with a valentines theme. They even had cookies and popcorn for the guest! The room had all of the accessibility features and my mother was comfortable. Minus one rude guest on the elevator it was definitely a 180! My only request is to have enough towels in the room for two guest if you book for two guest. I was able to quickly rectify that issue and got towels instantly.

I stayed with my spouse, child, and dog in the only available dog-friendly room there was- on the first floor, next to the ice machine. Like any other dogs, when a dog hears someone nearby, they bark, and since the ice machine was so close to the room, it made my dog jumpy. If that's not enough, a guest who checked in later that night on the upper floor was walking in their room, and the floorboards were squeaking so severely that it was impossible to rest. Luckily, they went to sleep shortly after, and the squeaking stopped. The Carpet was worn out and had bumps in it, and my dog was restless, probably due to the strong past dog odor in the room.
