Would not recommend

Turned on the shower and a lot of silver shavings came out of the faucet. Was given a room that was not renovated because I booked thru hotels.com, was advised that I could upgrade for a room with new carpet for an extra $10. Also the bathroom is very small. The receptionist was extremely helpful letting me know about local things to see.

We just stayed a night, but absentmindedly left a personal item behind in the room. Upon realizing it, I called back to check — Michelle and Lori found it, and went out of their way to have it packaged and mailed back to us, something I wouldn’t even expect some 5-star hotels to do. Thanks Michelle and Lori!!

We arrived a couple hours after check in and rooms were not available. They said they were "short staffed". We had to wait for our room to be cleaned. When we got to the room, the bedding was unclean with brown marks that looked like make up, and sheets that were extremely wrinkled that it made you question if they were clean. One comforter had a major hole in it and the sheet tag was showing at the top of the bed when it should be at the bottom. Thankfully, the attendent gave us another room. It was much nicer, very clean and no complaints. The staff was very accomodating.
