Right now the hotel is under renovation but there isn't a lot of inconvenience to customers. Breakfast was good - eggs, sausage, waffles and more. A lot to chose from even for diabetics like me. I love and appreciate the $10 dog fee, too.

Kids were running halls and playing hockey in the hall until after 1am. Parents/adults loud and yelling until 3 am. No hot water in the shower. Other than that staff was not the most thrilled at check in. House keeping was most friendly and working hard though.

Kayla-I am so sorry to hear about the problems you had. Unfortunately we had a rowdy group this weekend and your complaint about the noise was not the only one. Our overnight staff tried to keep the noise to a minimum by giving the group the meeting room to hang out in but it can be disturbing for the rooms nearest to them. I am sorry for those problems! With our renovations, we've had to make some ongoing adjustments to our hot water heaters as we get more of our rooms back. We would have been more then happy to make those adjustments or switch you to a room so you could have had a hot shower. Thank you for letting us know about your stay.

Bumpy
Let me start by saying I would stay here again but there were issues. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations and there were exposed wiring in the halls. The first room we were put in had a non- working heater and the filter was completely plugged with dirt. When I called the front desk he promptly came to the room and attempted to fix the heat without success. He moved us to another room which was similar and had working heat. However the temp for the shower was backwards hot was cold and cold was hot. We left for the day and returned and could not enter the building because our key cards had deactivated. The desk agent came and let us in and replaced our key cards. Like I said I would say here again with hopefully less hiccups.

Thomas-Thank you for letting us know about your stay. I am sorry for all the problems you had especially having to move rooms and not able to get into the building. We had Maintenance go through both rooms to correct those concerns and we had them look at the door lock at that entrance door. Thank you for bringing those problems to our attention and we hope to welcome you back, with no hiccups!

This was a very clean hotel, no matter where you were staying n hotel. Breakfast was great, many choices to choose from. Only problem we had was the guests above us were LOUD all night. It sounded like a roller derby, bowling alley, or a bouncy house. Sounded like 300 pound person jumping on the floor, and suitcase being thrown on the floor or dragged across the floor. Everything else was great!

Hello! Thank you for your stay and review. I am glad you were able to enjoy your stay despite the noise above. We don't generally have noise complaints like that but we would have been more then willing to move you if that would have made the night better. Thank you again for the stay and the kind comments. We hope to see you back again.
