I stayed here for 2 nights, with my partner. The surrounding area patio was beautiful. They had very cool little events for the guess. Sadly the seat in my shower was broken I couldn’t use it and the parking around the hotel is kinda sketchy. Besides that it was very good.

Wonderful outdoor patio with food service and firepits for making s'mores! Best ribs - had to order them both nights of stay. Secuity for elevator and parking great!

Everything was good except for the fact that we weren’t told the button for make up room wasn’t working, so when we got back from our day the room wasn’t made up like we thought we requested. Otherwise wonderful experience and the fire pits were a really nice feature with the smores

I liked it. Overall the room decor and bathroom is in need up updating. Kept having to ask for my room to be cleaned and only one desk person wasn’t rude. The firepits in the common area are great though, and the bed was comfortable. Staying in suites allowed work with colleague possible

The bathroom was pretty gross. Dried boogers on the wall next to the toilet and the vent wasn’t working so water was dripping from the ceiling when we showered. It was one night, so we managed. But I wouldn’t have stayed longer. Everything else was nice.

Hotel is fine except they have too few dining staff for the amount of customers resulting in cold food and over worked employees. Also not offered billing statement upon departure.

First room we got noticeably smelled of cigarette smoke. Got moved to a different room right away. That room was okay but... The AC is dumb in that it turns on every couple minutes for 15-30s, so all you hear throughout the night is the AC turning on and off. Additionally, there was a weird issue with the bathtub... seems like the "liner" that got installed wasn't done right: it flexed underfoot and I'm pretty sure there was water underneath...
