Frist off, the hotel is understaffed; we only saw 2 employees working here during out entire stay and they hotel has to have more than 80 rooms. Second, they do not put on AC in the common areas, we stayed here as a part of a bridal party (booking over 20 rooms)... we asked for a room to relax in and play cards befor the wedding, they gave us a dining area which was nice, but refused to put the AC on, the manager stated to us that it was a cost cutting measure (as we are spending thousands of dollars in the hotel). Third, the rooms were terrible, the showers were extra slippery, the iron in our room was stained (so it would have left stains on our clothes) and didn't work, there was no ironing board in our room, the power outlets didn't work, the Free WiFi didn't reach our room (the only solution provided by the hotel was to use my computer in a common area that was easily over 100 degrees), there was a previous guest's used bar of soap in our shower when we checked in, we had no hot water, and another guest in our party told me he saw mice running the hall way in the morning. My Advice, spend a few more dollars and stay somewhere else.
