The front desk was fast, nice and professional. The bar staff was rude and unprofessional. Wanted to visit with other guests but was told to leave area in case someone wanted to eat or order a drink. The only action going on was employees watching the end of Monday night football loudly. There’s no real place for guest to sit and visit with each other.

Staff was great. Friendly. Helpful. The room didn’t have any linens or pillows for the pullout bed and there wasn’t any extra toilet paper. The toilet wasn’t flushing well, but anytime we called down we got what we needed quickly.

Rooms were nice and spacious but they did not accommodate to my "special requests". I had asked for adjoining rooms and made a call to make sure that was down for my reservations and also had them in my original reservation notes. When I tried to get my rooms moved they were unable too.
