The service was all around terrible. Took over an hour to get breakfast every morning, no one was at the desk to check in or out. I was served raw chicken and cold french fries the one night I had dinner here. Used to stay at this hotel a lot before it was part of IHG and it was great for what it was. Now, it's literally the worst hotel I've stayed at in the last 10 years. I'll never stay here again and would recommend everyone else stay away.

Won’t stay here again.

At check-in I was told I had to pay an additional $25 per night to part my car in their parking lot, mind you there is no where else to park your car. Nothing was said about having to pay for parking when I booked the room on the internet. That was a big red flag for me. I won’t stay here again.
