Pros:

There was a bday party or some sort of family gathering the same weekend of our reservations. I had two rooms on the 1st floor, it got unbearably loud in the early morning hours. I went to the front lobby and asked if I could get different rooms. Without hesitation I was assigned two rooms on the 3rd floor. The staff was great, I really appreciated the fact that I did not have to spend time pleading my case at 2:00am!

Comfortable but bad internet
Pros:

Beds were comfortable, staff was good, breakfast was good. Only drawback was that the internet sucked. It was difficult to log on and it wasn’t fast enough to get any work done.

Pros:

Night staff was amazing. However, morning staff not as accomodating. Couldn't do late check out. Breakfast was not hot and they didn't have sausage or bacon that I could eat, eventhough I'd emailed ahead to ask for non pork. Overall, a very average stay as I was awoken at 4am by a baby in the corridors, I'm guessing they didn't want to wake the other parent in the room. What I did like was tge microwave and fridge in the room. Oh, and the shower door was missing a handle, on one of the doors.

Pros:

I made a phone call asking if we could have adjoining rooms, spent 20 minutes on the phone insuring that the rooms were adjoining. Arrived at the hotel the rooms were not adjoining so I wasted $200.
