Good if you need kitchenette, otherwise skip it
Upon check in, found room with some sort of goop all over the walls. Looked like dried soda, some sort of food smeared on the entry door. I booked two rooms and they switched the larger one that I booked all week with a much smaller one that I had only requested for two nights. Kitchens are convenient but wouldn’t stay again.

Good value, but short of excellent
The suite floor plan was great, as was having two TVs, a full size fridge, and a kitchenette. As this is an older property, it's starting to show its age. The staff was very friendly and helpful, but the desk clerk at checkout was also performing housekeeping chores...hire more help! Complaints are few...there was no bar soap (front desk said their supply truck had been delayed 3 times), and the shower attached bottle for body wash was empty. Also, if you're looking for the ice bucket and cups, they're kept hidden away in a kitchen cabinet!

Wouldn’t stay again.
Needed the pullout couch… mattress was disgusting. Could not use. The restaurant/lounge has need permanently closed since end of October, had to go to front desk for a bar of soap. Front desk person was welcoming.

No soap for the rooms??
Large executive room for a great price. Very much enjoyed the facilities and layout. However, for some reason, there was no soap for the sink or the shower. The front desk had no soap available. I thought this was a standard amenity.

Good customer service
They were very helpful in getting us checked in remotely when our travel plans changed to ensure we would still have a room when we got there on a busy game weekend.
