The room was fine. The breakfast, however, was very disappointing. No decent choices for children. Also, very limited television channels. Again, not much to entertain children. Would not stay here again.

Travelled with family
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Our main problem was that the walls in the rooms were terribly thin. The person next to us had their TV blaring loudly all night long and my husband and I didn’t get any sleep. I did call the front desk in the middle of the night and asked them to take care of this and they said they would look into it. Nothing was done. Spent quite a bit of time trying to talk to management about reducing our bill due to no sleep. They said they would give us a certain amount of money off of the rate and as of today (6 days), we have not seen that credit come through. Also we were surprised at a Radisson hotel only having choice of a cold breakfast with nothing hot. The last thing I will mention is that the lobby area and our room smelled of a cleaning solution that I was very sensitive to.

It was filthy underneath the bed. The bathroom floor was disgusting. The internet with disconnect and reconnect all night. But it had one of the best beds I've slept in so there's a plus.

Listed as having breakfast but all it had was coffee, yogurt, bagels and fruit. The room set-up was much like a lower end hotel with the sink right inside the door. The folding closet door would not shut so it stuck out.
