Poor service. No one frequently at front desk and phone not answered promptly. Free breakfast is a joke The only hot food is the waffle you make yourself. The hotel needs serious renovation. Major potholes in parking lot. Positive many restaurants within 5 minutes.

The employees were rude, and were actually nowhere to be found when we tried to check in. There was no phone in the room. The only ice machine was on the 4th floor and didn't work. There was hair on my toilet paper. Only one elevator worked. There is no first aid kit on site, or so we were told when my husband asked for a bandaid. The fence around the property is so full of blank spots and broken poles that it should just be taken down. Did not feel safe.
