Room seemed clean, dust ruffle was stained, dirt under cushion of chair.. Could use some updating/replacement of some carpets. Card readers on doors, elevators and parking garage gates are not very responsive, you have to hold your key card over the reader just right. Breakfast was ok, not a lot of options. Very walkable area close to restaurants downtown.

I was aupwr disappointed the hot tub was not hot and the jets weren't working. That was the only reason I booked here. The elevators were also not working, however the front desk moved me to a room and had me park on that level so the elevator wasn't necessary. That was so convenient! Walking to grab dinner across the street at High Life was so simple and took less than 10 minutes.
