The entire staff was very professional. Now the elevators needs ac ( too hot) , it was an uncomfortable feeling while waiting to get to my floor. The toilet continues to run but stops when you tap the handle ( flusher ) several times. The hotel is near, several restaurants which is convenient.

It was okay. They tried to give us a room that smelt like cigarette smoke as soon as you walked in door that suppose to been non smoking. Bed however was comfortable but didn’t seem like they changed the bedding, we had stains on blanket. When asking for new bed linen the lady who got on shift had a bad attitude about it. Our room smelt like straight up cologne like they just sprayed it to cover up a certain smell. Silver ware was not clean and had food left on them that hardened. Fridge didn’t work but freezer did. It was okay but definitely not worth $140+ for one night.
