Really enjoyed the stay. Comfortable and clean. Pleasant staff. Really good complementary breakfast. Parking a bit if a hassle as not onsite, but close enough to not be a big problem. Would recommend for sure.

We were not given the room we had reserved, getting downgraded from a suite to their simplest room that happened to also be wheelchair accessible so lacking things such as a couch. We were told this happened because we booked through hotels.com. For parking, they initially gave parking at the nearby mall as an option. Only with further questioning did the admit the attached garage was an option, this all happening during a rain storm. During breakfast the coffee was empty and not refilled while we were down there. Then when we asked about a rate adjustment they said there was nothing they could offer or do because we had booked through hotels.com. It's a great location but I would strongly recommend going with another nearby hotel.
