The one thing that’s truly horrible about this place is that there aren’t more elevators! Not having one for guests and staff at the far end is bad bad bad. For gosh sakes take out one room and put one in! Another thing i noticed is how narrow the stairways are and seems like a major safety issue. For older folks this far end is horrible for getting to and from. Great staff!

A/C didn’t work & Reception told us wrong room

Check in was difficult as only 2 employees were helping one customer leading to a long line for the rest of us checking in. The employee was nice but took a long time actually completing the check in even though there was little to no information needed from me. The employee told and wrote down the wrong number of the room leading us to walk the entire property only to arrive at a room we couldn’t enter after trying the door multiple times and having to walk back to the front desk and were told our correct room was right in the front. The room signage and arrows were confusing and not helpful as some rooms are outside but the arrows say they are inside. The elevator was slow and hot. Once we actually got to our room it was clean and comfy but the AC didn’t work. It said it went down to 60 degrees but only actually got down to 75. And kept turning off so the room was stuffy and we had to keep opening the door to the hallway for airflow.
