"We have enjoyed our stay!"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Richard, who was pushing around a bin in the lobby, was nice enough to take our picture so we could all be in it! Food was delicious at Liberty's and breakfast was great.

"Problems"
Overall Score2.0/ 5
Hotel was not clean or well kept. Carpet was ripped, bedding was unsatisfactory, there was grime on floor tiles. Reserved the room on my credit card but used my debit card for incidentals upon check in, politely asked the credit card be charged for the room, I was then charged in my debit card, then the money was refunded and then recharged a day later. The entrance/exit into the parking garage is a SEVERE hazard but based on the state of the the rooms I’m guessing this will not be addressed. At a bare minimum the key pad to enter the garage could be moved.
