Excellent place to stay!

From check in to check out, my stay was amazing. The bed was super comfortable, bathroom was spotless, the room was huge. When you’re there, eat at the Otter Room! Amazing staff there as well. Cocktails were well made, they had the fireplace lit, so the room was cozy. Will I stay there again? Absolutely.

Horrible Experience

I'm not leaving all the details here, but there are other choices in town. Many of them...choose elsewhere. I will be leaving the details of my horrible experience to be delt with with my husband, federal agencies and communicating with the General Manager. BUT be advised, if you have a disability, this is not where you want to be. Never have I been treated in such a discrimatory manner, not discrimited against with malice but turned away after vetting the location to protect my safety. Then mocked by the front desk attendant with her disingenous comments . She should work anywhere other than with customer service and trained how to actually speak to people with disabilities with a level of respect not disrespect. No better than, certainly not less than. We (I) just want to be treated equally and if this can't happen, don't sell teh product/service.

Very clean and accommodating to my request of ground floor. Wasn't avle to park in front of my room, but out in the parking lot a ways. Assuming it was due to the restaurant on the ground froor a few doors from our room. Staff was friendly. Room was extremely clean, but cooler. Easy check in and check and breakfast was the best we've had at other hotels.
