I didn't stay at this hotel. I didn't receive emails for my reservation, so I had to make reservations at another hotel. I wish I could request a refund, but I know that doesn't usually happen. Trust me, I would have rather stayed at your hotel.

The hotel was great in every way but one, unfortunately the one bad thing was the mattress. Usually hotel mattresses are great. These were awful. The pool and hot tub were so nice and clean and everything else was as well. If they were to tell me they got better mattresses I’d go back next year for the convention but as it is we will probably find another place.

Shower (4th floor room) needed more pressure. Everything else was excellent. Nice to have the microwave and fridge in-room. Comfy beds.

nothing special
Could not get the shower to fully come on. Very very small swimming pool and spa. Strange front desk, it highlighted a little store featuring a $4 cup of coffee.

New but Terrible Silence
For this location being a new hotel, I was surprised to find out the terrible structure of the property. They floors are plywood and not concrete and you WILL hear EVERY person walking on the floor above you. I called down and asked Walter to call up to the person above me, which he graciously did. The person above me responded with a loud THUD on the floor to retaliate. So in order for me to not go to jail from throttling the dude, I went down and got a new room. So, thank you to Walter for that. The new room, I could hear every word verbatim from the TV in the room next to me. The joining rooms have TERRIBLE audio silencing. So, be prepared for a horrendous night of sleep at this site

The Maverick restaurant is great. The staff at the hotel are very helpful. The refrigerator is in a cabinet that is not ventilated and it uses a lot of energy in order to stay cold. I left the cabinet door open so it didn't run continuously. The walls seemed thin I could hear normal talking.

9 am housekeeping?
It was great when we arrived early and they put us in a room before check in, then, the room floor was sticky there was something sticky on the desk and my purse got stuck to it, went to shower and the faucet and shower had water pouring out which made water pressure horrible, the ironing board was literally broken like the bolts weren't even bolted i did call down and housekeeping came with another right away, but this morning at 9 am the housekeeper knocked and instantly came in thank god the doors top lock was locked, she said sorry but i didnt understand the 9 am? Check out was 11? The common areas are beautiful and clean but hallways and rooms were very lacking.

Excellent hotel with a great location. My only complaints would be the room location and shower. The room was near the front desk and the pool and the elevators; not great for sleeping. We were given an accessible room, which would have been ok except the regular shower head didn’t work.

Nice hotel with a nice bar/ restaurant attached. Newer property nice and clean. Only complaints are bad shower head with no water pressure and the pillows are a little too thin. Like all hotel rooms these days the walls are thin and no noise barriers. But would stay again next time im in Saint cloud

Appreciated very much the ability to check in early for a small fee. I was exhausted after traveling overnight. The room was extremely clean very roomy and the front desk staff was very accommodating. When the Keurig ran out of coffee pods they delivered more to my room immediately.
