Kimberly

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff that I encountered during my stay were all friendly and responded to any concerns. The room overall was nice but the bathroom had a small sink with no counter which made it difficult to have things available on the sink for washing up, brushing teeth, etc. This hotel is in a good location and is very close to the new ampitheater. Also, just to note, the hotel is undergoing a renovation so the construction noise was still going on at 6pm when we left for dinner. There is a note about this on the hotel website.

Jeremy

Didn’t like they couldn’t accommodate an early check in. Didn’t like only one operational elevator and constant hammering and drilling. Didn’t like the bathrooms were dirty and had ants. The wooden coin for a free cup of coffee to make up for everything felt more like a slap in the face and disingenuous. Will not stay there again.
