Stayed at this location for about a week md during the snow storm . Overall the stay was great, beautiful hotel and unique rooms I stayed in a few styles. The front desk staff was professional and kind - Sherrie M. was wonderful and always helpful with a smile no matter how frigid the lobby was. Thankfully management had the fire place fixed towards the end of the stay. Sunday brunch had more than we expected and something for everyone. The other restaurants coffee shop we great as well . The maintenance staff was helpful and professional and the rooms and linen were clean. Looking forward to staying again due in the fall. Again, thank you Sherrie M, for all you did to ensure we had a great stay.

When walking into the hotel it looked clean from a distance. As I start using the room with my kids, I started to notice dirtiness. The floor did not seem vacuumed, there was a bottle cap on the floor under the table by the beds, there was a yellow piece of tape on the water spout of the tub, the tub had dirt spots in it and hair, and there was a small black curly hair under the pillows. Also, the loby and the elevator smelled like cigarettes enough that my 6 year old wouldn't stop talking about it.

I don't recall booking a handicap accessible room but that is what we were put in. Shower was not the cleanest. And, upon arrival the heat was broken. Our room was freezing until Saturday evening when maintenance was in to fix it. Then, it was unbearably hot. Don't feel like we should be paying full price for a room with broken heat when it is absolutely freezing outside. I emailed the manager and have not heard back.
