My biggest issue was the bartender. When we arrived we were told that the bar was open until 2am only to get back around 1230-1245 and he told us that he was closed now. The guy would leave and people were trying to get drinks and just leave because he was taking so long doing whatever he was doing. He then came around at one point and started putting hair gel in his hair while he was behind the bar. Overall the place was fine, but they need a new bartender.

The hotel was great, the only thing was that the parking price is really high $40 per night. The breakfast was okay, I will not recommend to pay extra for it, better to eat outside. But overall the hotel is really good, clean and great area.

Sharon,Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Our parking rates are comparable to all of the other hotels in the area. Alternately, the ramp does provide different prices should you not need the in and out privileges we provide. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay overall and hope to see you back again sometime soon.

Was told the property was connected by skywalk - however they failed to mention it closed at 5:30 and on weekends. Parking was crazy expensive.

Response from Kylee - GM on 12 Mar 2024
Karla,We are so sorry that the Skyway hours detracted from your overall experience. This is not something we have control of for their access hours. The parking ramp is 3rd party and you are able to pay them directly should you not need the in and out privileges which is sometimes cheaper than paying us. Our parking rates are standard in the market. We appreciate your candid feedback.

My husband and I visited our daughter who attends the local college. Security on premise was great and professional. parking structure had skyway into hotel which was great for cold weather. The bed though, it really just ruined the experience for us. i have stenosis in my back and can adapt to most any hotel bed however this bed was HORRIBLE! please please add pillow toppers or change out mattresses. if not unfortunately we won’t be returning which is sad bc overall we had a great experience here. if you like a very very hard mattress though you will enjoy the beds. thanks for interest in review-DM
