Thank you

The cable stopped working while I was watching the game. I went down to speak with front desk manager Maria. She came up to the room to see what the issue could be. She was very apologetic and also trying to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. She went and checked if the cable was working in a different room. She went down stairs to call comcast only to find out there was an outage in the area. She was very helpful and apologetic she even offered me an updated rook which I really appreciated.

Average hotel. Room was OK, but definitely time to start upgrading. Bathroom looks dated and worn. Carpet looks old. But, clean and good customer service. Parking is a bit tight.

If you have a room that faces the road, then there was a lot of noise, car engines rumbling thru the night. I asked them to get the room changed, they said they are completely sold out for the next 2 nights! which could be true I guess, but I was not able to sleep well. walls and glass is too thin. If you get a room which opens up in the back or towards the pool, then you should be ok. would not stay here again tho.

Poor wifi made my business trip quite frustrating.

The staff was very friendly, however, many things did not work here. The wifi connection was terrible and being here for a business trip that made it very difficult to do my work. The vending machines did not work, and the constant playing of Fox "News" in the breakfast room was very obnoxious. The workout room everything was sticky (I think due to the type of peroxide based cleaner they used which is not good for exercise equipment). The mattress felt a bit old. Positives: the rooms were very clean and the pillows were also very fluffy and there were four pillows which I loved. I would likely choose another hotel in future.
