Heres tbe good: The room was clean and nice. Heres the bad: The staff was not up to par this time. My wife and I soon found out, the door doesnt lock. An employee tried showing us how to slam the door repeatedly and lift on it to lock it. Itll bolt shut inside the room. You cant leave, because you cant deadbolt it from the outside. After many unsuccessful tries, he never got it to lock either. We asked for another room. By that time (within 60 minutes) he said sorry, he already gave away the other 2 rooms. The kicker is while talking he knew the room was broken. That its always an issue. Then we asked well why give it us!? He said thats above his paygrade. He just works here. Take it up with managment. We paid the ballooned price to go see the game near by. Exceeding 500$ for 1 night and they couldnt care less. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.

We had 4 rooms booked under 3 reservations. I came earlier in the day and even assigned names to rooms and provided my credit card for incidentals for all 4 rooms. We arrive after soccer match (almost midnight) to find one of our pre-paid rooms had been given away! No hotels for hours due to big soccer match. We had no choice but to sleep in our car! Absolutely no accountability by hotel or IHG and I have received NO FOLLOW-UP for refund or how to make this right. Especially as a valued IHG member I am disappointed and devastated!!

This is my second year staying at this hotel and once again me and my friend greatly enjoyed our stay. The staff was wonderful and friendly, the rooms were comfortable and clean. The reason I gave four out of five stars is because we got locked out of our room on the second day when we had booked for three days. It also took a while for a new key card to be made. Other than that everything was great. Breakfast could’ve been better

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this hotel. I checked in around 4:15 PM on a Friday, needing to shower and change for an event at 6:00 PM. Despite having a reservation and the official check-in time being 3:00 PM, no rooms were available because they were still being cleaned. I waited in the lobby for 20 to 30 minutes until the front desk clerk unassigned a clean room from another guest who had not yet checked in and assigned it to me. After finally getting into my room, I showered and went to my event. Around 9:30 PM, while still out, I received a call from the front desk asking me to stop by when I returned because my credit card information had not been properly attached to my account. When I returned around 11:30 PM, I provided my card to a different staff member, who re-entered the information and re-scanned my key cards. However, at 1:45 AM, I received another call from the front desk, waking me up to say that my card was still not on file. This was the third time dealing with this issue. I went downstairs and provided my card again. The staff member explained that the previous clerk had incorrectly recorded a cash deposit instead of entering my card. The repeated errors and lack of proper communication from the front desk staff caused significant inconvenience. Being woken up at 1:45 AM for an issue that was entirely the hotel’s fault was unacceptable. The indifference and lack of apology were disappointing. I would not recommend this hotel.

There was not adequate parking until we had to go park in the overflow parking. Also is was only 9:15am and many items at breakfast finished and were not replenished. One of the reasons for staying here was the easy of a breakfast being included. This was a definite negative.

Breakfast wasn't avaliable first day as advertised...kitchen staff advised not making any hot options...cereal, bread products, cinnamon rolls, oatmeal and very ripe bananas were the "full" breakfast. Second day breakfast area not open...when questioned was advised staff didn't show up. Front desk clerk advised could email GM as resolution at that time. Also very small parking lot that cannot accommodate all rooms for parking so if you return late don't plan to have a confirmed place to park.
