Our comfy stay!

I chose this hotel because of the convenience of having a full kitchen and we were happy to be able to use it after we got a few kinks that had to be worked out but all in all he had a very comfortable time. We thought the pool area would be a lot nicer not only was a deserted, but it was no hot tub. It just wasn't inviting looking. The pool was very clean and nice and warm so we did enjoy that. There was no continental breakfast of any kind and I always feel that when you pay over $200 per night they should least be a continental breakfast available. The front desk staff, including Brandy were exceptional very very friendly and helpful. Being an IGH member made it nice to have a 2 o'clock check out.

We stays at this property due to the location close to the hospital. We were visiting a sick relative. The reservation got messed up. Our fault / their fault, I'm not sure - but it was messed up. The on-site staff did NOTHING to fix the problem. I was traveling with my 6'3" college aged son. We booked for 2 beds in the room - the room had 1 bed ! Staff said we had to go back through Expedia and did not even attempt a solution. I don't have the first clue how you would "go back through Expedia" to fix this. So, on top of sitting in a stressful hospital environment all day we came back to 1 cramped smallish bed for almost no sleep. The 2 night stay was well over 500.00 and that money was gone so we had to stay. The 3 and 4th nights we found a decent hotel and actually slept. The hotel itself is OK but nothing special. If you want anything like customer service you should look elsewhere.
