Bed was very uncomfortable. Heat was on and set to 70 degrees, but room consistently stayed at 64 degrees. Clanging in the overhead pipes that lasted all night. Would not stay here again.

The room was very warm, had the thermostat set to 50, but our room stayed 75 . I heard other people complain about their rooms being warm as well. Took kids swimming and the pool was freezing. There were homeless people in both entryways of the building.

Check-in took too long. We arrived 30 minutes early and the hotel made us wait. 4 o’clock came around and it still wasn’t ready. They gave us another room anyway so, why make us wait? The key cards were used and worked intermittently for the elevators and room door which was a pain for a bigger family. Staff was lame and rude all around. Front desk - no work attire or name tags, no smiles. Kitchen staff - tired and late, all sass. Dining area is way too small for the amount of people they have to feed. Parking is across busy Lake Avenue with 2 hour parking down the block but you probably won’t get to use it because it’s filled with bar patrons.

No shampoo. No soap for shower and minimal conditioner. They have a pump system in shower that were not filled. Dishes in dishwasher. For price not worth the stay.

Not returning
Couldn't check in until 5:50pm due to rooms not being ready. It took three times until we got a room. There were multiple people with the same issue on the same night. It was a mess. At checkout the next morning, a gal said she had two random people enter her room at night while she was in bed. They were issued the same room key. What a nightmare.We will not be returning.

3 phones but none worked. Used cell to call every number multiple times for hotel but never got an answer from the desk or reservations & calls eventually disconected. Complained to desk staff at checkout & only answer was, maybe they were on break! Suite was spacious with nice whirlpool tub, in living room though. 2 bathrooms was nice too. No view tho.
