You have to Park across the street, in a satellite lot, have to cross a busy street, and then walk across what used to be the hotel parking lot. The cooling unit was not working properly, so the room was warm. The noise in the hallway was obnoxious. The kicker was NO hot water to the room, tried to call the front desk 3 times and no answer. Finally discovered the plumbing to the sink and bathtub was backwards, hot turned on the cold and cold turns on the hot. While leaving complained to the front desk and was told “okay”.

We enjoyed our stay here. We were in town for a baseball game so we didn’t use the room for more than sleeping, but it was very nice and quiet. I would definitely recommend 10/10!

Stay was great minus the fack that their primary parking spots were not open. Had to use the back lot for parking. Then, we walked through the empty blocked off primary lot to get to the door. The staff were kind and the pool area was clean.
