Not great experience
Pros:

Good location, but the hotel is dated and in need of a major renovation. Carpets and common areas are noticeably worn.

Service was disappointing: check-in was slow, my room key didn’t work, and I had to return to reception to be assigned a different room. As a Platinum Bonvoy member, there was no recognition or benefits offered.

There were also children playing unsupervised in the gym with no staff intervention. Overall, not a great experience and below expectations.

Disappointed situations turning out good
Pros:

First let me say that your Employees by the name Roberto and Branden saved the day. With their kindness and very professional demeanor made my stay worth while. While I was disappointed with the last minute email of the construction that will be going on, both of your front desk Roberto and Brandon made sure I wasn't in the line of fire of the constant noise level. They are truly worth noting and changing a bad situation to being good. I wish the construction was done before the summer vacation months. Thanks again guys for your professionalism and being courteous.

Amazing Valet Staff
Pros:

Nick, Lucas and Jonathan at the valet were absolutely amazing. They always checked in with how my day was going made sure to be super professional and kind. They made my trip away from home so much better by checking in on me every day and we even had some great conversations about hockey since my son is a hockey player. They always opened my door for my car and helped with any bags and anything else I needed even when I first got to the hotel and Nick personally walked me up to the desk helping with my bags to get me checked in.A group of wonderful employees that are the first people you see when dropping off your car for the hotel.
