The service was great and the breakfast availability made our trip that much successful. When you travel with kids it is important to start the day right and having a good night sleep and a delicious breakfast was key for us. The beds were very comfortable and the options we had for breakfast were delicious. We loved our stay and will probably return in the future.

The fridge in the room was not working and they had no replacement. We had to discard sustainable amount of leftovers from our restaurant dinner..The front desk said my stay could not recieve a comp because I booked through Expedia..I wasn’t charged for parking, that was the only comp hotel could give.

Everything was comfortable and satisfactory. Not having a valet to bring the bell cart up and paying for parking (in an enormous empty lot) was unacceptable. We paid a lot of money to stay there. There was a foosball table in the middle of the walkway leading to the back exit. There were other unsafe conditions.
