Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The room was clean and roomie with coffee maker microwave and mini fridge. Shower was great pressure. The coffee maker was not working. I reported it on Saturday and it was replaced.

Negative: I didn’t like that upon arrival I learned that the two elevators were out of service. Ask the staff if there were other hotels we could go to, but it was a graduation week for new military trainees meaning all hotels in area were booked. They then move my reservations from the fourth floor to the third floorroom near the stairs and my niece and the desk clerk carry my bags to the third floor for me. No maid service until I was leaving on Monday.

Summary: My stay besides the beginning of it was fairly good. As I was placed close to the stairwell, I could hear everyone bangi

Positive: The lobby was always clean and smelled great. The staff was friendly and greeted you each time you walked thru the door. The room was clean when we got there. Beds were comfortable.

Negative: The elevators were broken the entire trip, which we were told about but there was no discount given for the inconvenience. Secondly, housekeeping never came to the room in the 4 days we were there. I even requested them to come and at least do a towel switch but they still did not come. When I asked for clean towels after the 2nd day, we were given pool towels.
