We waited in the lobby from 4 to 5 because the rooms were not ready. The lady at the counter took our number and said she would call us when a room was available. She never called us, so we tried checking in again. A gentleman placed us in a room right away. Other than that, it was a clean and comfortable stay.

Out dated, heater LOUD, super disappointed ...

We stayed 2 nights, the lobby was awesome. Asked the front person a few questions all she could say is that they had a full house, yes we figured, there was a comic con happening.. waited to check in around 6pm. guess we got the last room.opened the door, and saw how out dated everything was, stains on the carpet, carpet coming up, water stains all over the wall, toilet paper dispenser was so LOUD, bed was stiff, no extra bedding for the fold out, asked the front desk for blankets and pillows they said they didn't have anymore lol what?? They did give us an extra towel. Cold air coming through the window, curtains were old and torn, the fold out bed needs to be updated bad like.. the heater woke me up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep it sounded like a jack hammer going off it was LOUD. They charged us an extra 105.39 over what hotels quoted us VERY upset about that, we didn't even get breakfast cause that was an extra charge, the walls are thin, listen to banging in the next room and hallways.. the room coffee was gross, so had to spend money at the Q (that lady was super nice). Had to pay for parking.. it was just nothing like we was hoping for for the price..we travel a lot and this hotel is NOT worth the money. 500.00 for 2 nights and we didn't get anything extra!! It's crazy .. will never do that again .. very disappointed, and upset. Oh check out, never got me a receipt said hotels would email me so waiting on that to see why I had to pay $105.00 more then told

Overall, it was OK. Not happy that the restaurant wasn’t open. And you couldn’t pay cash for your coffee. And very disappointed that they did not do anything to the parking lot after the snow because it was a sheet of ice and we had to walk across the street. A lot of people were slipping and falling. Was supposedly upgraded, but didn’t see anything different or worth an upgrade. Our door looks like someone had broken into it. Doesn’t give you much of a sense of safety.

Booked this stay to attend the nearby comic convention. Hotel was nice and clean. Has a decent indoor pool and exercise room. Upon arrival, the hotel had the parking lot blocked off and charging 15 dollars to park. We parked on the street and during checked-in I inquired about why the charge for parking to which the concierge said it was because of the convention. I asked if they would still charge without an event and she hesitated and then proceeded to lie saying they did. Thrity minutes later, after the convention ended, I walked out to go to dinner and the parking lot entrances were no longer blocked. For this, I won't do business here again. If I paid for a room, I should be able to use the parking lot.

Do Better to serve your customers

The dinner quality is not good for the price paid and the time waiting for it. It was simple food, but the bartender was good service. My children had to us one good towel and a couple unfortunately a used towel to dry off because the front staff was not in a hurry to help us get towels. My wife went to the front desk and so did I to ask for towels because they had none at the pool. It was only my two boys swimming and the lady I talked to at night 2/14/2025 at the front desk could have cared less so we had to be hostage at pool waiting for nothing and nobody for simple towels. If your staff can't get someone to bring towel and serve your guest, then find people that will. We were tired and wanted to go to our room. Had to wait in long line to buy enery drink in the morning at coffee shop with only one worker to finally be told we could buy the drinks at front desk. Honestly, the hotel needs to have a meeting and get the workers to get a grip on why they are there and who they need to serve. People pay their hard earned money and travel to stay there, the least you could do is your job and also sometimes when you cant get help from other workers, you have to do it yourself. There was one customer me, and two workers at desk, you could have made it happen, but didn't. It wasn't "VIP" at all.

Good things: easy parking and check-in. The bed and pillows are comfortable. Why I will not stay again: Our room is beyond outdated. I would give cleanliness a 1. The bathroom floors and counters were dirty. There was mold on the floor, and the bathroom door would not shut. The room smelled musky. The doorstop is disintegrating. The carpet is gross. The doors are scratched up. There are no outlets around the bed.
