You were able to leave the hotel theough it but not enter. You had to walk out through where cars were coming in and going out to access the front door. Front desk woman who chwcked us in was extemely nice.

Clean, refreshed property with spacious room. Security latches on the room door were broken and dated. Hospitality was a bit lacking and rude about using the restaurant with an outside food item.

Staff needs a hospitality lesson
The Staff was NOT professional at all. Front desk area was rude. Paid for parking, and when trying to get out, the phone that controls the opening the gates was not charged so had to wait 10 plus mins for them to charge there phone. Elevators was not working in months (I use to stay there often). Location is great but the building and staff are not. The staff was arguing with me and deactivated my card to start more tension instead of conflict resolution

The staff were all very friendly and professional. My room was clean and neat. There was; however, a smell of mold or mildew when entering the hotel lobby that was pretty strong. The outdoor pool area wasn’t very appealing. Other than that, no complaints.
