I was slightly confused with working the tv and wifi, the man at the front desk was very pleasantly helpful.
The hotel has been very nicely redone since we were here last here.

The hotel was super clean and the room I had was recently updated. I had plenty of room for myself and my belongings. I was able to unpack on my first day for easy access during my stay. The bathroom had shelves! And a light right in the roomy tub/shower. There were no strange smells and the best was so comfortable, I wanted to bring it home.

I was very disappointed that we did not get room cleaning at all over our 3 day stay. We had to go get coffee pods, towels and anything else we needed in the room. I'd of thought that at least we should have had fresh towels, trash pick and beds made for the cost of the rooms per night.

The hot water was off for more than half the day. They never provided a timeframe that it would be fixed. My wife and I had to tough out a cold shower before leaving for our event. To make matters worse the 2nd elevator was broke when we had to leave. Had to take the stairs and walk around the building to the parking garage. 1st elevator was down for maintenance our entire stay!
