Staff was great. Room was clean, but nothing exciting. Pool was kind of cold considering it's indoors. Restaurant was good, maybe a touch high priced. The only real bummer of the stay was that they advertise having an "arcade" at the hotel. It consisted of 3 games from the 80's in the lobby. They're free, so there's that, but not what anyone would call an arcade.

Liked: Cleanliness
While the stay is always great, I feel the rooms need a refresh. It’s starting to smell musty and old, bathrooms have rust spots everywhere. The parking garage is awfully tight!! You white knuckle it every time you go up a level! You best not have a large vehicle or you’re staying in there and never getting out. You should pay us to enter!
