Our stay started with a calamity in that a man in the next room began shouting at a woman on the phone -- and kept on going. He was very loud. We asked for a new room and got it quickly. The staff was excellent in helping us with that. The breakfast was excellent, featuring scrambled eggs and sausage, biscuits and waffles (and more). All carpets had been or were being cleaned (the carpet was even still damp). One suggestion for the hotel: The tiny shampoo, conditioner, and lotion were hard to squeeze out -- perhaps a different type of bottle is in order?

Contrary to the website information, the pool wasn't available to use. It was completely empty. Paint peeling on bathroom ceiling, window did not close all the way and wasn't able to be locked, phones in room didnt work, ac made a disruptive noise every time it turned on and off. Stains on carpet and one of the head boards. Complimentary breakfast was large but most of it tasted terrible. Dried puke in the sink of the lobby bathroom. It was cleaned up as soon as I let the front staff know but it had definitely been there awhile. Shower water remained hot but the water pressure is disappointing. Wouldn't recommend.

The bathrooms in desperate need of maintenance. Rust, missing drains and terrible humidity throughout the room, make this hotel less than desirable. Do not recommend, and I encourage anyone to find alternatives, how ever further away it might be to your event.

3 days in 245-243 room

We checked in for 3 nights. The room was nit very good, rusty metals in bathroom, window cannot open and AC not working in smelly room. Asked for ac to be repaired, front desk promissed for service but nothing. Asked again in the morning and after lunch and despite promisses nothing happened. We spent a night w friends and came back the next day to our room 245 and out luggage and clothing and toiletrues all gone. Called the front desk explaining the problem we did not have out formal clothing for that night and no jackets and he hung up on me. Came downstairs to explain in person. An hour later was explained they moved our stuff to other room and located our stuff. Was asked to come and pick up since front desk person could not leave or send someone to bring our stuff. So I come to pick up and was given out luggage and all out stuff in big black trash bag. Imagine evening dress (new with tags) together w shoes, all underware just dumped. Had to spend time to clean and dewrinkle our stuff. Tried to reach Jennifer, the manager for all 3 days and could not by phone (8 times) and in person 5 times. Never there, never available and vmail is full, no one can leave a message. So this is really bad, no communication and especially taking our stuff without telling us. Not acceptable, nobody to complain to or talk.

This property was a letdown. The elevators weren't working regularly. The halls were dirty, paint peeling everywhere. The breakfast bar was reminiscent of summer camp. The pool was drained. No indication of this at check in or during the reservation (the kids were upset). Every trash bin in the hotel was full the whole weekend. This property boasts being a great location for visiting fans and family of the university, they should be embarrassed.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY

Checked into the hotel for a little getaway and purposely got a room that had a hot tub. Paid extra money for the room with the hot tub only for it to be filthy. Could not call to the front desk because the phone was disconnected. Had to call from my cell phone. When I told the clerk, all they did was say they’ll mention it to housekeeping. Did not offer to move rooms or any other resolution. I spent 20 minutes cleaning the tub myself.
