We stayed on a busy weekend with a lot of other sports teams staying in the hotel. Overall it met our needs the staff was great, the rooms were good enough. Our bathroom was a little dated and the AC sounded like a jet engine. The breakfast definitely could be better but was good enough if you just needed a quick meal.

Front desk clerk could use a lesson in friendliness and professionalism. Hot tub and pool were closed and nothing on their website indicated this. The front desk clerk didn't even say anything about it. Ice maker was not working on second floor. Our key wasn't programmed correctly and we had to make a second trip back to main desk where the clerk said " I think it will work now." Room was clean, bathroom needs maintenance. Breakfast was nice.
