Can use some improvements

The bed was comfortable. We couldn’t get the tv to work, so staff had to reprogram it. The surface of the tub was slick & felt grimy, so we had to be very careful when showering. Friendly staff, decent breakfast.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
The desk clerk was friendly and upbeat. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The shower had great water pressure but the frayed fabric shower curtain on the arc shaped rod could not keep the water in. The hair dryer didn't work, and there weren't enough accessible outlets to charge phones or make coffee. One of the window panes was completely blocked and needs replacement. They supposedly served free breakfast til 9 am. However when my husband went down at 8:45 they were pulling all the food and putting everything away without even asking if he wanted any of it. Even the salt & pepper shakers had been gathered up.

They refused to let me stay there bc I over slept past check out, they didn't tell me until I booked again and they already even took my money off the card. Had to wait two weeks for refund, they could of just talked to me the day I overslept and offered me to pay a late check out fee or told me that day before I left not to come back
