Lawrence, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Overall, hotel could use some attention inside and out. Room was ok. Everything looked a bit worn out.
Richard, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Fire alarm went off at 4am. We went outside to wait for it to turn off. Ended up sleeping in the car. There was no effort from staff to say it was all clear.
Chris, 1-night trip

The hotel needs updating! They gave us the wrong room. We opened up our door and there was someone laying on the bed.

Poor stay

Elevator was broke. Front desk girl was very unprofessional. Breakfast was a joke. Wont be back
Alberta, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hit tub was out of service. The sink in my room was clogged or something - took forever to drain. I didn't bring it to attention as we were busy and wasn't a big deal. These 2 tiny things aside....Myra and all staff were awesome! Would stay again!!
Melissa, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay!

Quiet, clean, comfortable bed. Spacious suite with 2 chairs & a couch. Bedroom in a separate room. Enjoyed the pool & hot tub.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff and room were great. There were always snacks in the lobby in the afternoon, not sure if it was because of the cyclones/hawk game, but it was a plus. The only downfall was we didn’t have hot water in the shower, hot water in the sink but not the shower. So not sure if that would defer us staying again.
Tamara, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice people, clean room, curb appeal needs help, as far as a warm breakfast it was cold to none left at 815. There were cold options available. I would stay again this is the feedback that was asked for several times as I tend not to complain.

Allyssa, 2-night trip

Jacuzzi was broke. Look like it has been for awhile. We chose this hotel for that. Pictures on web are misrepresented. To look better then it actually is. Would not recommend this hotel.
