Great location and nice that they ‘freshened’ up the rooms. However, we arrived at 3:30 to check in and were told our room wasn’t ready and would be another half an hour, we came back at 4:00 and waited half an hour to check in. Even after waiting for them to clean our room, when we got to our room there was food left in the fridge and male ‘parts’ drawn in the dust on the top of the fridge. We used to love staying here because of the location and breakfast but it just hasn’t been the same since management changed.

I have stayed here multiple times over the years and have to admit this property has gone downhill. The rooms are outdated, dusty, and not well cared for. We chose not to use the pullout couch due to the multiple stains on the mattress. Gross! The air system is so loud in the rooms, we had to turn the TV all the way up just to hear it. The breakfast area was so dirty, and many items were out of stock when we arrived, with over an hour left of breakfast. The garbage was overflowing, all the empty tables were dirty, there was a hair in the jelly bowl, and the plates were gone. There was not a worker in sight. We all lost our appetites and chose to eat elsewhere for breakfast. The parking can be a nightmare, and the spots in the back lot are not marked. You could easily park in the wrong area and be towed. The front desk staff were pleasant, that was the only plus, other than the location. It's so sad because this used to be such an iconic hotel. For the price, it's not worth it. We will not stay here again.

Parking was across thw street, which was not very convenient. Room was not ready at check in time and it looked like it wasn't cleaned well, if at all. Room was not restocked with toilet paper, garbage bags or paper towels i had to go get them.

Everything was fine except the gal at the counter said we only had one room when we actually had reserved two rooms. So the other couple with us scrambled to find another room. She really screwed up as we contacted hotels .com later and yes we actually had two rooms. Not good!
