The front desk doesn’t know what they are doing. We decided to stay here for the weekend just to relax. I was suppose to get an overnight parking pass when I checked in but didn’t. They don’t forget to charge you for it but may have over looked giving it to you. Then we decided to go out and my key pass doesn’t work on the gate. I had to park and go back to lobby. I see other guest in line for the same reason. Then after outing we get to our room to find out our keycard now doesn’t work on our room. By this time I’m over this place. Had to go back to lobby to recode my keycard. I now see why guests just use other means.

Hotel good, restaurant not so much.
Hotel was nice and comfortable. Would have been nice to be offered choice of building as being far from the amenities was awkward for me. Restaurant let us down - problems with breakfast (eggs were badly done, by the time they were recooked, rest of breakfast was cold). Offered a vague promise of discount at dinner, which we accepted. It was a 20% discount which was nice, but the menu was very limited and we didn't really like any of the items on offer that much.
