Pros:

Breakfast was good, but, wasn't stocked in a very timely manner. Staff seemed more preoccupied with their phones and balloons.

Room seemed very overpriced in comparison with amenities and condition of room. It was probably priced this way in concert with the Balloon Festival that was going on.

Pros:

The entry way smells like vomit. My sister in law found a roach in her bathroom. The toilet in our initial room wouldn’t flush so we were moved to a different room. The bolt lock on my sister in law’s initial room wouldn’t unlock so her door wouldn’t shut so they were moved to a different room. The staff however are very friendly and very helpful.

It’s a mess under renovation
Pros:

This hotel is being renovated. It is a mess. The breakfast was not good The eggs tasted like plastic and all of the bread products were dried out . It would have been nice to know that they are being renovated and in a big mess before we booked it. Hopefully they can get it put back together and serve a edible breakfast
