We were very disappointed to have a cold hot tub. After a day of driving we were hoping to relax in the hot tub. Also there was no microwave in our room. Very disappointing.

Business stay

We had a great stay overall. Only issues we ran into were that when we came to check out around check out time the front desk staff was nowhere to be found for almost 30 minutes. The hotel is dated but clean. Bed was comfy and parking is easy to find.
