Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Stay room was clean/organized. Basic layout and amenities, it was ok for just an overnight stay. Bed and bedding were comfortable. Having bottled water available, in the mini-fridge, and a simple snack assortment (nuts, granola bar, crackers, etc.) would be a nice touch. Quick and easy interaction with front desk staff for check in/out, the three I interacted with were kind and helpful. The attached restaurant had a very nice breakfast buffet, the vouchers provided for that meal were greatly appreciated. Food was fresh and tasty. Perfect spread for a morning buffet. Staff were friendly, as well. My main concern and biggest complaint would be the lack of snow removal and salting done to the walkways and car pull-through/valet area, directly INTO the hotel at the front entrace/overhang. I witnessed a couple people slip and almost fall, including myself, while entering the main doors, where the valet sits. The tile section between the carpets was extremely slick/wet. The walkways in the immediate area by the entrance should have been cleared much better than they were, at the very least the area right in front of the entrance.

The greatest hotel ever! The staff was super amazing and I will be staying again! My mom is here in the ICU and when I tell you the hotel was very informative because of the holiday they Uber’d me back in forth due to no shuttle it was truly a great week. Everyone needs a raise💗

Upon arrival I received a downgrade on the room that I already paid for. I was told the room I paid for was not available. When I did receive the room I paid for the keys did not work. 4 trips to the front desk.
