Great Hotel; Sensitive Smoke Alarms

The hotel was very nice overall. The rooms, televisions, furniture, etc.. were updated and clean. My only complaint is the smoke detectors were easily set off from the shower steam. The fire alarms went off three times during my visit (with hotel staff having to come into my room two of those times) in the middle of me showering. It was very inconvenient that the detectors were so sensitive. I also wish there were more options for the continental breakfast. The days that I went, it was the same: sausage, eggs, and biscuits (as the hot options) along with your typical options such as yogurt, cereal, waffles, fruit, etc... It was a great hotel. I would stay again but they have to get those smoke detectors fixed. The staff was also friendly and flexible in making accommodations for the room.

Book elsewhere

The beds were clean and somewhat comfortable but the bathroom was filthy. The floor had visible dirt on it and there was already something in the trash can when I first went into the room. The floor looks like it hasn’t been swept or mopped in days. The refrigerator and microwave are from the late 70’s maybe early 80’s and with the increase in prices for these rooms everything should be a bit more updated.

Clean hotel where th one flaw

Everything was clean check in customer service was great. The lady at the front desk really nice. The room was clean. The pillows is basically the only reason why they didn’t get five stars. I feel if I stay in a hotel and it’s just mainly to spend the night and get rest that the pillows should be a lot better ten lumps

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff was friendly. The property and rooms were very clean. There were two things that were undesirable. #1. In the hotel lobby and 1st floor air conditioning is perfect but in the halls after stepping out of the elevator it is uncomfortably warm on the 3rd floor. Once in the room it was better but having to experience this every time leaving the room was a issue for me. #2. There was a loud sound that would come on almost every 15 minutes then go away, not as bad when awake and talking but when trying to sleep it is very annoying! I DID NOT COMPLAIN or mention these things to staff or management because they appear to be a normal part of operations. However, these are some areas of improvement to make the stay better! I would stay again but only if I could stay on the 1st floor to avoid the issue with the warmth in the halls.
