My son went to the swimming pool area and stepped on glass while walking to the pool. Some blood but not serious. Our fold out couch bed had large metal spring sticking out of the side! I considered it dangerous! We had an extra pillow and blanket brought up. When the lady delivered the pillow and blanket we showed her the metal spring sticking out of the fold out bed. She agreed it was a danger and she would tell her manager and have them call me. Quite disappointing no follow up from the manager! I will say the staff at the front desk when we checked in were extremely polite and professional! Due to NO follow up from the manager we will not stay at this hotel again. This is sad to see for the awesome staff at the front desk they have to have this underperforming management! we stayed in room 301 checked in on 10/24/2024 aproximatly 3pm pillows delivered and report of the dangerous fold out bed on 10/24/2024 aprox 9pm wish I would have taken pictures of the injury and fold out bed as I see now that I could have uploaded the pictures quite disappointing.........

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.

Okay, but keep expectations in check
Meh. The entrance is odd. It had 2 gigantic dumpsters taking up more than half the entrance parking and it's located on narrow street. Room had a musty smell; not terrible but was there. The hotel ran out of hot water by 2 pm on a Sunday and didn't get restored until 8 pm. Courtyard was nice, but would be better if spider webs and trash was cleaned up better. The front desk representative named Dee was super nice and awesome.

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.
