We have stayed here before and had a good experience, but this time, three different staff members were indifferent or downright rude. Even other guests were talking about it in the elevator! When I checked in, I asked about valet parking. She snapped that they would not have valet all weekend, even though the valet sign was out weekend. The self park garage is a nightmare… It is so narrow and tight, you can barely get your car through it, as evidenced by all the scrapes on both sides. The second night I parked in a public lot- for $10 less. The air in our room did not work so the next morning I stopped at the front desk and was again treated like a bother (by a different staff member). She said she would put in a maintenance request, but the next night it still did not work. It was so hot and stuffy we couldn’t sleep. They also did not clean the room on Saturday. On Saturday, the keys on the entire floor we’re not working. Heading back to the lobby to have our keys reset, the other guests all talked about the rude staff. On a good note, we got two free drink, coupons and the bartenders in the hotel restaurant were great - even remembering our drink order from the night before. Overall, I do not plan on staying there again, mostly because of the staff!

The early check in process is beyond frustrating. Apparently you show up and if you get early check in, they charge you - if not, you have to find something to do for a few hours. The tv in the room was broken- called the front desk about 7PM, they said they would send someone up - no one showed up - finally put out the ‘Do not disturb’ at 1130. Frustrating

The breakfast was cold and awful. There was a buffet, eggs were cold and they kept running out of everything. Only had one gal trying to bring dishes out, restock food and no cups for the water. No servers at all if you wanted Mimosas etc…. Heater in room fell off the wall and room was tidy but definitely not deeply cleaned.

I like the retro decor. All food offered in morning you must pay for. Took my card and charged it w/o waiting for check in where I could pay cash. Had to pay additional 50.00 upon check in for incidentals, which incidentally I didn’t have any. No clocks in rooms? Complimentary drink in bar was nice but someone came along and asked us if we had a reservation when we sat in booth in bar? When we said no she said she needed that table by 5:45. Considering it wasn’t even yet 5:00, we found this very rude. Check in/out staff very nice!

Response from James Connolly, Guest Service Manager on Feb 16, 2024
Hi Vicki, thanks for taking the time to review your stay - I'm sorry it didn't quite meet your expectations. As with many hotels the extra 50 is just a security hold that is released from your card upon check-out should you not charge anything to your room, I apologize that this was not explained properly at check-in. I will certainly follow-up with our restaurant on how we speak to our guests as this was far from the standard that we hold ourselves to. Thank you again for your feedback, we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience.
