Staff I came into contact with were pleasant, helpful and seemed happy to help. Breakfast was awesome, our room was very clean and the pool & gym were nice. I do wish we had a microwave in our room and one of the elevators was out of order, but it didn't make any difference for us because we used the stairs. Would definitely stay at this hotel again.

My room smelled very strongly of cat urine. As did the entire hallway. The air conditioner worked periodically and was actually falling apart. Paint was peeling off the bath tub. Carpet was torn up in some places. It was quite awful. Complimentary breakfast but it’s not serve until well after you’re already gone in the morning. I travel all over for work and stay in many hotels, this one is definitely in the top as one of the worst!
