Good hotel but needs some updating

The young man’s hair that checked us in was long over his face that we couldn’t understand what he was saying. The walls and furniture in our hallway of our floor were bumped or scraped. It was below freezing during our stay and there were only thin blankets on the bed. We had to turn up the heat. The tissues in our bathroom smelt like vomit. Breakfast was okay but the service was very nice. I did enjoy my complementary drink.

The “upgrade” in my opinion was not and upgrade; I would have liked to see a room of lesser standard to rate it as such. The one free drink was nice, would’ve preferred one per evening. The restaurant was fantastic! We enjoyed each and every meal there.

The staff was extremely helpful. The rooms need a little bit of a touch up. I was a little put off that valet parking was required; there was no self-parking option.

Great stay but …

Great stay in general! Staff very friendly and helpful! We used the valet service and unfortunately one item we left in the car was lost. I totally understand that we are responsible for taking valuables from the car but I didn’t expect that the valet service be unreliable. I hope the management mentions that to the staff.
