I reserved a moderate room by mistake and found it to be dirty, it had a bad odor and the bathroom door wouldn't close. I was very disappointed. I stayed in one of the deluxe rooms 2 days that was adequate but nothing special, nothing like the moderate room.

Rob

Liked: Cleanliness
Pros, the place was very clean and the desk staff very friendly and tried to help as much as possible. However the place was understaffed making their job hard. Cons, the room was not ready, not cleaned at 6:30 pm. Maintenance is lax, bathroom door stuck and did not close, outlet to the coffee pot was dead, and the guard was missing from the blow drier. It ate some of my wife's hair. The place is made up of at least 3 different buildings and the rooms appear to vary a lot from building to building. The best seems to be the main building with an elevator, one of the buildings is 3 stories without an elevator. Make sure you know what you are getting.
