Difficult entrance stairs - user review
The lobby is accessed by eight very steep concrete stairs. After registering I asked if there was a way to get my luggage out of my car and to my room without using those stairs. I was told there wasn't. I had to carry a very heavy suitcase up the stairs. It was very difficult. I am not handicapped ...

Needs an overhaul. - user review
This hotel desperately needs to be remodeled. The carpets are torn & stained, the furnishings need to be thrown away. The lobby & corridors smelled like skunk. The hotel had just changed ownership & its name so maybe they will do an overhaul. That is the impression that I got. This was one of the ch...

Run away, far far away - user review
We chose this hotel because it was the closest one to the hospital our daughter was having her surgery at. They are remodeling the hotel and it was just a cotastrophe. One elevator was sort of redone, one was not even started on. The entire hotel smelled of fresh paint. On the day we returned from t...

Having called ahead to assure 2 beds we were disappointed to find them sold out our first night. We were upgraded to a 2 bedded room for $20 per night extra for the 2nd and 3rd night.

I actually stayed at this hotel several years ago. This stay was not as good though. I'm pretty laid back, and I won't say that I wouldn't go back, but the quality of the hotel is in serious doubt. I didn't like that the only vending machines were down on the first floor somewhere. That, however, is...

This hotel represents itself as award winning, but the service was most unprofessional on check in: she assigned us to a smoking room that turned out to be a mess (not cleaned or made up) and only when we complained did she assign us a nonsmoking room that she claimed initially not to have.
