I had a large cooler that I needed to bring into my room. Room was on the 2nd floor of one of the larger buildings on the NORTH side. I couldn't find an elevator anywhere so I had to carry it upstairs to get it to my room. Not a problem or complaint for me, just want to warn folks who need accessibility that this might not be the right property for them, or to at least try notifying the staff on the front end that they need a room that easily accessible.

Unexpected disappointment.
The room was clean and big. The breakfast was decent. The TV did not work even after I tried unplugging the cords and turning on and off the power strip and another remote as suggested by the front desk. The towel rack fell off the wall. The water in the shower never got hot. It was lukewarm at best. The front desk offered another room but it was too late at that time since we had taken lukewarm showers. The front desk told me the manager would be in touch with me the next day. I called him and he was very rude.

Not excellent , but passable.
We chose this hotel based on some of the "excellent" reviews. The room was clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable, but my wife did not like the pillows. Breakfast was limited, with not much variety. The trash was almost overflowing. The waffle machine made an irritating beep non-stop, and when we brought it to the desk clerk's attention, she said, "it does that sometimes. Just turn it off." We had already checked out of our room when we went down to breakfast, and the restroom in the breakfast area was closed to non-employees. Overall, the stay was okay, but did not live up to the "excellent" reviews.
