Worst experience I’ve had in a long time. Room was not clean, didn’t appear to he vacuumed as there was hair in many locations of the room. There were a group of young men wrestling on the floor above me until midnight literally shaking the ceiling fixtures in my room so when I go to call the front desk the phone isn’t working. To top it off this morning there is no hot water. However, the man at the desk, don’t know his name had spiked hair and was working at 11:00 am, could have cared less about any of my complaints and promptly dismissed me. As I waited for my car I could see that he as very busy watching videos on his phone. I cannot recommend this hotel nor will I stay here. Such a shame as I have stayed her in the past and it was top notch.

We picked this hotel since it was close to the marathon start/finish line. We’re coming back next June for the Ironman and staying for the same reason. The only downside was the pool was too chilly. Love the location though!

I stayed here for a marathon. There was zero hot water in the shower the entire stay. The room smelled musty. And the room above me stomped around all night and I didn’t sleep one ounce. It was really frustrating to only have cold water in the shower after a marathon.

Good location. The layout of the building was somewhat confusing. Our room window faced a blank outside wall. Seemed to be doing a lot of updating and construction. Hallway carpets and elevator floors were dirty and stained. Bed was very comfortable and room was well appointed with a kitchen and bar area and clean. Wall light on bed wall was broken and shelf in bathroom was about to fall off along with the tp holder. Reported to front desk. Very good selection of options for breakfast.

Unacceptable in terms of house keeping, none, after asking repeatedly. Remodeling dust everywhere while eating breakfast, doors not shutting properly. Pool looked like milk. I was not happy overall

The TV did not work and could not be fuxed, so we were moved to a construction floor. The swimming pool and spa were unavailable. The beautiful pastries on the site were actually muffins in plastic bags. "Sleeps 4" included a nice king bed and a pullout sofa with and extra thin mattress pad that came with a package of sheets. So really only a room for two. There were homeless people in the area, and two big blue dumpsters at the front door. All of this, plus $20 a day to park.
