The room was fine. The breakfast, however, was very disappointing. No decent choices for children. Also, very limited television channels. Again, not much to entertain children. Would not stay here again.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Our main problem was that the walls in the rooms were terribly thin. The person next to us had their TV blaring loudly all night long and my husband and I didn’t get any sleep. I did call the front desk in the middle of the night and asked them to take care of this and they said they would look into it. Nothing was done. Spent quite a bit of time trying to talk to management about reducing our bill due to no sleep. They said they would give us a certain amount of money off of the rate and as of today (6 days), we have not seen that credit come through. Also we were surprised at a Radisson hotel only having choice of a cold breakfast with nothing hot. The last thing I will mention is that the lobby area and our room smelled of a cleaning solution that I was very sensitive to.
