I went for my daughter's college orientation, and I got back to the hotel around 9am and the staff was amazing! Check in wasn't until 3pm but because it had been raining and I was wet the main hostess at the front counter asked housekeeping to please clean a room for me and I was able to check in by 10am. They also offered me breakfast when I arrived (even though I hadn't checked in yet). 10 out of 10, I will definitely be staying here when i go back for family weekend.
