The hotel receptionist was not present when we arrived to the hotel. We had to wait approximately 20 minutes until she finally came to help us with the check in process. The TV was not working. I said that to the hotel receptionist, but they never fix it.

Originally had our room of a 1 BR mixed up and not available had us in a 2 queen room. Talked front desk & they had no 1 BR available. Was going to cancel but decided to wait & see if they did anything next day. They rearranged their reservations the next day & moved us to the room we had reserved. Anyone can make a mistake, it is how it is corrected that counts and they corrected their error. Great front desk staff. Many restaurants nearby.
