Pool outdated and cheap. Old hotel. Gym was ok. Staff poor, didnt want to give out free water to Hilton Honor guest. You pay for parking $33 a day and the parking garage is not big enough for large SUVs. You have to be very careful you don’t scratch the sides or roof of your car in the garage. Breakfast buffet is $27 for powder eggs, bacon and sausage. Absolutely nothing special about the breakfast buffet for $27.

The lock on our door needed maintenance and instead of immediately asking for the maintenance engineer to come and check it, the front desk staff had us change our keys twice. Very inconvenient!

Staff was great and hotel lobby is nice. The room wasn’t so great though. Had a crinkled lamp shade, lob sided couch with one broken leg, stains on the floor, weird smell from the bathroom and deposit was confusing. Almost was charged a $1000 for two nights.

The second night there was a dog barking nonstop next door. I did not reach out until it was bedtime due to trying to be understanding.. the dog bark continually from 10 o’clock on all night. And woke up everybody again at 7 AM. I contacted the hotel at night. They said they could not reference where the sound was coming. Did not try to resolve anything. At around 11:30pm they told me I could switch room rooms. I don’t think that was very sensible regarding the fact we were not the one with the dog, but we were expected to pack up a room and switch room rooms before any other resolution.
