Located in a good area, hotel has been well worn, lobby shows signs of aging. The room was clean, nice and spacious with a beverage fridge. Shower was nice, towels were ok. Breakfast had eggs and sausage, waffles, etc. Good and quiet area.

I came for a quick overnight trip. The room was impressive upon walking in. Clean and spacious. Here's what didn't work: the TV a wall of outlets the inner motorized blind, and most importantly the phone did not work either. That is a safety issue. Overall with all the electronics not working I was very disappointed. That shows tremendous lack of attention to detail. Of course the staff offered to move me to another room but I had already bathed and unpacked Etc and moving would have been a huge hassle.

Our employees worked overnight paving parking lot locally and asked for late checkout. Maintenance decided to change the batteries in the door at 9am which woke our employees. Front desk said they would offer a night reimbursement for the inconvenience but has to go through Expedia. Please advise how you will rectify this asap
