Staff was friendly. Place is well kept, housekeeping also helpful. Only thing I did not care for was not being to control the thermostat. The room was cold when we arrived and had to get help from front desk to get it changed. This was only a minor inconvenience. Everything else was great!

Property was great. Checking in the attendant was not very friendly at all. All other staff was amazing and very attentive. Water dispenser in the "Smile to Go" was not working or not filled, therefore getting water was very limited. Restaurants on site were also great, with amazing service!

I’ve stayed here several times! Always loved it. My room was great. I was unaware the restaurant was no longer operating. That was a big miss for me. After long work days, I had expected to be able to come back for dinner at the adjoined restaurant. The desk person told me that fast food was up the street when I asked for recommendations…the next morning Smile cafe was still not open by 7:15am and there was a line of hotel guests waiting. The front desk staff was not helpful again. If the hotel depends on a different operating company to serve guests food and beverage, it would be great if they were trained to have adequate suggestions and back up plans. Maybe coffee in the lobby? At the very least.
