Received a call 30 min before check that the AC in the entire hotel was not working, and would not be working for a day or two because a part had to be ordered. I was traveling from out of town, driving, and was left without a room. Had to pull over and find other hotel accommodations that were close to the stadium. Would have liked more advance notice.

Nice hotel. Its just short staffed when trying to check in. So rooms were delayed getting clean. But it was a nice location. The price of parking is high ($48), but its the city.

It was quite disappointing when we tried to check in at 4:00pm and was told that our room wasn’t ready and no one could give a time estimate due to a full hotel the night before. This is not our issue, but we were the ones being affected. I can honestly say, I’ve never had this issue at a hotel. For the amount of money we spent, I would expect to get the full use for our stay. However, the ladies upfront were doing the best they could with the cards they were dealt with. I’m not sure if it was a management/scheduling issue.
