Excellent hotel, but it is undergoing a major renovation, so some of the public areas are covered in plastic and under construction. Still very nice, just be prepared if you're wanting everything perfect for a romantic getaway.

Hotel was being redecorated and upgraded. Our stay was clean, quiet and comfortable. Ample parking, but confusing access on busy corner.

They had me booked for a handicap room on the 2nd floor but no working elevator. Moved me to the 1st floor. The room smelled like smoke. The garbage can by the desk was full, not emptied from the previous guest. There was no hand soap in the bathroom to wash your hands.

We arrived to discover that the hotel is finishing up a renovation cycle — the rooms are mostly done, but missing an easy chair; the lobby has noisy construction all day; and the parking lot is being resurfaced. The end result will be worth it, I’m sure. But the goody bag with a few pieces of candy did not make up for the inconvenience!

First room had insect larvae stuck to bed and white construction materials all over the wall area. I checked out 3 additional rooms with the staff to find one that was clean enough to stay. Not clean but clean enough to make it through one night. If cleanliness is your priority, this location isn’t it.

Upon arrival, we saw this facility was under construction. The room pictured online was nothing like the one we received, very misleading. It was not clean, had an odor, and was such a bad experience that we chose to not stay at all. Unfortunately all hotels in an extended proximity of this were booked, and we ended up driving home after the event we were attending in the area.

Guest service reps were helpful & kind. The property is going through renovations somewhat recently. The main flooring & finishings looked dated, but our room was more modern. Our room was clean & inviting. There could have been more room in the bathroom, but it wasn't horrible. The breakfast was disappointing. Most things were stale and/or out of ingredients (ex. pancake maker was out) and the employee handling breakfast services was asleep at one of the tables in the back. Overall though, we had a nice, clean stay, and would stay here again.
