Overall a decent stay The Jacuzzi suite really is what it looks like in the pictures, saddest part being that it’s is right there when you walk in the door so if your partner goes out/comes in while you are enjoying it, you risk being seen by anyone in the hallway Late check out was an option -11am was extended to 1pm for a reasonable $26

85 The location however seemed weird and there is no view from that particular room

It’s in a nice area and only an 8 minute drive from a family members house We have stayed twice for medical appointments for our kids The pool is super cold

The rooms are definitely in need of some TLC They are currently remodeling so I’m sure it will get better The first time we stayed the room was very clean but the second time the room was visibly not cleaned in a few spots and the duvet cover and was stained The breakfast was decent both times We stayed with all 4 of our young children and it’s nice to have options for breakfast that each of them likeWe would consider staying again after the remodel but will be finding another hotel in the meantime

Currently under renovation, but you wouldn’t know before 7:30 any morningStaff was super helpfulProperty inside & out both are very well keptRoom is great, plenty of space, including a desk, seating area, coat hooks as well

The shower & bath are goodRoom has plenty of charging locations, and plenty of lightingThe blackout shade does the job perfectlyI’ve worked in the area many times, but this is my 1st stay wish I’d known before now about this gem!

To the ones who rely so heavily on reviews before making a decision: As an avid user of Holiday Inn I was somewhat skeptical when reading the reviews of this hotel on google but decided to bet on this location knowing it was a corporate owned location While I have allotted for grace of the construction being completed in this review I feel like there are several areas as room for improvement to take this from a 25-3 star hotel and bring it to the high 4 if not 5

The first this was the cleanliness in ALL common areas of hotel the hallways, breakfast areas were never cleaned during our 4 day stay This is something so easily fixed yet no one took the time to do it At one point there was dried blood on the floor in the breakfast area which again to my horror was not cleaned during our stay The next area is the elevator- the way the elevator functioned was unacceptable with catching- it was almost scarier to take the elevator vs the stairs The cleanliness of elevator was nothing short of terrible sticky mess, handprints, visible dirt debris all days of the stay Again I know there was construction but there’s no reason that staff can not clean and mop the elevator at MINIMUM once a day The next was the noise level With the guests that were there during out stay the noise level and “rowdiness” gauge was off the charts It seemed like the staff either made no attempt to stop it or just didn’t care to Either way nighttime was dreaded especially since I was traveling with 2 little kids The other final area of improvement I would suggest is keeping a much closer eye of the freshness of the food During our stay on 7/7 we got some milk with a 7/8 expiration date Upon opening it we quickly realized it was sour and threw it away Yet on 7/8 when we came back downstairs much to my surprise all the milk with the 7/8 expiration date on it was still out When bringing it to staff attention staff notified me that they technically have 5 days AFTER the expiration date to keep it out for consumption YIKES Never have I heard of that and if that truly is the policy it is only opening the door for a food poisoning lawsuit at fault of the hotelWhen it comes to the question of would I stay here again the answer would have to be probably not There’s other options right across the street that I’d be willing to explore before coming backPros:LocationCons:Room Cleanliness, Facilities, Atmosphere

Kerri Stege

From the moment we arrived, the staff was amazing The front desk was manned by true professionals that cared about their clients 100%They were so helpful, friendly and accommodating

The 4 us girls traveled up from Nebraska for 5 days to attend a concert in St Paul for my niece’s birthday and even though we only ended up staying 3 days (the concert got cancelled at the last minute so we came home a couple days early) it was worth every penny and then some The parking at the hotel was a breeze in a very busy, quaint, beautiful town The location cannot be beat as can walk to everything easily Our room (308) was absolutely gorgeous with a balcony overlooking Main St With a river view It was beautifully appointed as a 1 bedroom suite They brought us a mini fridge and a rollaway bed and the couch was also very comfortable Plenty of room for the 4 of us They had numerous outside sitting areas, a fire pit courtyard as well as a rooftop deck with a fire pit and large hot tub as well We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone

Alyssa Goldschmidt

Pros: Rooftop hot tub was amazing The hotel Is located In a perfect place Everything Is walking distance

Staff/customer service was friendly & easy to call when we needed somethingCons: No fridge or Microwave(which we thought was odd), but just giving a heads up for future visitors, because we brought cold food & ended up having to toss It Lastly, the bed & pillows were terrible Other then that, great stay Fire pits & hot tub were awesome on these last couple cold nights!

Leslie Hollerud

I stayed here for one night with a friend on a free night because she previously had a problem In the dead of winter there was no hot water The hotel was attractive in the public spaces

The rooms had no closet, no fridge, no microwave and no iron We tried to eat there My water arrived warm on a really hot and humid day and the glass had a big smear of lipstick and a red dot that I was hoping wasn’t blood The server didn’t even apologize He just said I will get you another We ordered Red Snapper and when it came I tried to cut it in half to share and my knife wouldn’t even cut through it I’ve never seen a piece of fish that was that rubbery I don’t even know if it was fish The Manager came over and I told her what happened and she laughed and said “I don’t think anyone in the back is bleeding “ referring to the dirty glass With a huge bar and about 1000 bottles of liquor they couldn’t even make blended drinks If we would have paid for the room it would have been $389 a night If they want to charge those prices they really need to step up their customer service skills With all the competition in the area I would think they would be a little more concerned with their reputation Would not stay there again

Green Heron Bed and Breakfast

Very seldom do we get a chance to travel, but when we do, where do we stay? Why another bed and breakfast of course, and this one was amazing! From the location, right up the road from the Como Conservatory, close to restaurants, and surrounded by beautiful architecture, to the wonderful breakfasts and conversation Carla is delightful! She has lived there for years and knows so much about the local area and we were wowed with her culinary talent We will be back!

gretchen seichrist

A magical and truly comforting experience! The entire place is gorgeous and decorated with a beautifully curated eye There’s an enchanting garden in front and it’s only a few steps from lake Como Carla is a warm and gracious host

All the little touches and extras in the rooms make you feel cared for and special I loved all the antique books and quilts!

Claire Federici

We all loved the place We had 5 family members who stayed between 5-7 nights each Carla is so gracious and interesting, her dogs are fantastic, the furnishings are endlessly interesting-so much to look at! And the breakfasts were delicious, with interesting conversations with other guests

The location just across the street from the lake and an easy walk from the band shell made it so simple to go rent a canoe or kayak or buy an ice cream I would certainly stay there again, and recommend it to any of my friends and family

Brendan Allen

Stayed at this hotel with my entire extended family for a funeral Staff was extremely friendly and courteous and the General Manager Lynne was a great help in helping make arrangements for dinner at the adjoining Machine Shed (which was delicious)The hotel is very clean, and the lobby is beautiful

Very comfortable beds and large bathrooms is a plus The pool area is incredibly spacious and the kids loved itWill definitely be staying here again

Lydia Keskitalo

Clean rooms and great staff, but the floor plan is very odd Many of the rooms look into the pool which itself isn’t bad, but the windows are very thin and the pool doesn’t close until 11:00pm This can be a problem if you are here for business or if you like to get to bed early

However, good prices, clean rooms, and helpful staff makes this hotel a good place to stay in St Paul

Lisa M

Black hole of a room Overall, the hotel was fairly nice, typical Holiday Inn…HOWEVER, our room had absolutely no natural light coming in

We had a window, but it faced a wall Pitch black at all hours Hard to relax, when you have no idea what it’s like outside, or cues that it’s getting late, etc We (spouse and kids) slept terribly as we all kept waking up at various times afraid we’d oversleep (yes, we used an alarm clock), since we had no other cues it was morning Pic was taken before checkout at 9:30 am, just to show how ridiculous it wasWas never informed our room was like that when making booking, or calling in to confirm that day Unable to get new room as hotel was booked No refund as prepaid for best price We’re done with the IHG brand after this

We stayed here at the end of March for a spring break getaway The outside of the hotel was clean and well-maintained Olin, welcomed us and was extremely friendly and helped us check in

The hotel had hand sanitizers in numerous locations The pool area was very large and clean They did not have a clock or restroom in the pool area you did have to go down the hall They had a basketball hoop outside as well as a large fire pit and chairs The continental breakfast was excellent The lady was extremely friendly and made you feel at home They had hot foods as well as those to just grab and go The inside of the hotel was very clean well-maintained cozy they had fireplaces in the main area We had a one bedroom studio which was very nice and clean Location wise it was perfect! Restaurants, shopping etc all close by We definitely plan to go back!

Very poor management and customer service Mother-in-Law made a reservation the 1st of April for my daughters graduation Gets a call a day before they fly up to tell them they have been moved because they overbooked

I am a Lifetime Titanium Elite Marriott member and was put off by this After talking to the hotel and explaining they booked because of having the mini kitchen they said they would try to find them a room and honor their reservation About 2:30 I get a call they are good to stay, next day at 11:00 AM (as they are arriving at the airport) they are now not staying and booked at a Hampton! Talking to the staff they can’t give me an explanation of how someone gets booted but people who booked after are still there The hotel is not 100% occupied by Marriott rewards members so they just talked in circles I am sure she booked so far in advance the rate was cheaper so they kicked them out to get a higher rate since it graduation for several local schools Here is a hot tip, have 160 rooms then you don’t take more reservations than that

Devon Ostir

We have stayed here a few times and this last visit was quite disappointing Drove 12 hours and were anxious to get our room and order food after a long day to then wait 30 minutes to get our room keys Not even acknowledged by the fellow at the front desk

He was waiting on another guest, but not even a hello I had waited all day for the mobile key to come through, but supposedly “it hasn’t been working for weeks” Having a mobile key would have started us off on a much better foot from the beginningPlatinum Elite and yet no upgrade, this is not a huge deal, but no mention of it and a mostly empty hotel And the kicker is a $100 pet fee for 1 small dog staying for approximately 10 hours I appreciate pet friendly spaces, but that fee seems a bit steep for a one night stay

Awesome hotel! They have great security You cannot access the use of the elevator or secure parking garage without a key, nor the building itself They do charge you under $20 for parking but it’s worth it

They have breakfast and a decent selection of items The hotel is well kept and the rooms were very clean and nice Was disappointed in the size of the pool They do have a little kids area w/ pool that’s not at all deep with a slide and water spout type contraption The staff were all friendly and helpful Location was okay but I never had a reason to go out and about in the city We were in town visiting family Double check your charges after you check out It might have been a fluke but I had mysterious charge that they did end up refunding me for Jim is one of the managers at this hotel and he was very professional, patient and helpful when resolving this issue I definitely would stay again

Almont Sadie

After having a horrible experience at Best Western Como park, we cancelled our reservations and went here Feeling so let down by our first encounter with such unprofessional staff, this place was a breath of fresh air!! The check in process was perfect The receptionist, Jacky, was so friendly and helpful!! It was beautiful, bright and clean! Location was perfect! They even have a beautiful, little attached patio to enjoy outside

I highly recommend this hotel and our family looks forward to visiting again as this is where we will always stay in the future:)

Ashley Munk

Breakfast was good Fresh and many options Rooms were clean and beds were very comfortable

A little disappointed with the pool and jacuzzi listing as the jacuzzi was the entirety of the whole pool We were expecting more of a hot tub or separate area for jacuzzi Otherwise, it was fine Staff were very friendly and the building was very secure

When we arrived at the hotel around 11:30 pm, we walked through the front doors to check in and were hit by the distinct smell of marijuana When we got into our room and took a shower, we noticed boogers on our shower curtain However, we were impressed with the heating and cooling unit and it worked very well! Overall, a decent place to stay if you don’t mind those minor issues

Phoua Lor

I stayed here for a couple of nights and was not reimbursed the charge on my card until over 2 weeks later when I had to call them about my issue I was promptly refunded the money by the general manager upon calling 17 days after my stay, but it is upsetting that this action had not been taken as soon as I checked out of the hotel – as it should have been

robert robb

Room was clean, reasonably priced and friendly helpful staff Only had 1 problem but I didn’t bring it up to try to remedy it Junior hockey! Their kids hyped up about a game and at a motel with long hallways pools and an elevator or 3

I work over nights usually a 14 hour shift, during the week the place is pretty quiet Friday and Saturday nights during hockey season not so much If you want sleep during the day haha not gonna happen There is signs about kids running in the halls that says don’t do it But they had hockey goals set up in the hallways and running slamming into doors etc Forget about catching the elevator when their staying there Again I didn’t complain to anyone just kinda cranked up my headphones and tried my best to sleep I will be staying many more times though Nice pool area, gameroom, weights, laundry free breakfast Heading there this afternoon, hopefully no hockey

Decent hotel and the price wasn’t bad for the location Huge shoutout to Vivian in the breakfast lounge She is amazing and quite an asset to the hotel

Great hospitality!!! Unfortunately, I do have a couple of complaints: 1 We had no idea there was a free breakfast for guests until I was walking in the hotel the first morning after picking up McDonalds already There was nothing on my reservation confirmation and we weren’t told about it when we checked in That would’ve been nice to know before I spent money elsewhere on food 2 The south facing rooms definitely hear the interstate traffic outside We could hear it well in the morning when we were trying to sleep in 3 The blackout curtains in our room weren’t perfect at keeping the light outOther than these issues, our stay was acceptable and we were overall pleased with our stay The staff was very friendly Just wish they would’ve told us about the free buffet when we checked in

Lisa Hudson

(Due to a roach problem at the La Quinta in Bloomington, MN, I had to change hotels!)I found the Radisson online and checked in and I’m so glad I did! Excellent customer service! Beautifully decorated and clean rooms Prices were great and parking secure and enclosed

You need a ticket or Passcode to exitFree breakfast and even pet friendly Also great location, half mile from St Paul state capitol and expressways I will stay here again when I return!

The staff here was the most helpful hotel staff I’ve ever experienced Every interaction was helpful and positiveThe highlight was dropping my airpod down the elevator shaft

Rooms are ok Staff is great Surrounding area is perpetually filled with homeless and random people that blast music and harass pedestrians

We stayed here for a week and the women in our group didn’t feel comfortable walking back alone… and I don’t blame them considering I wouldn’t have felt safe walking alone either, especially dressed in business attire

Ghazanfar “GJ” Abidi

Spacious and clean room King bed was enough for 2 adults and 2 kids (laying perpendicular); didn’t even use the sofa bed Kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with cutlery and appliances

Thermostat was stuck on 67f, so it got a bit chilly at nightGood location downtown Could walk to most places we were there forThe parking lot to use is the La Salle lot, not Bancorp

Scott Claeson

Horrible experience Heat went out first night No space heaters and had to wait late into the morning for a fix blowing cold air all night in the middle of winter

Told wrong times on breakfast Then showed up 15 mins before close next morning and said nothing left One staff member in particular was incredibly rude I left 2 stars because they have nice city views from the rooms It’s not worth being there though you’re in one of the more dangerous areas of the city, trust me Plus my dead bolt lock didn’t work on my room They didnt care about any of it and then charged me extra cleaning fees when I didnt even get the check out time advertised I feel like I’ve been scammed and it felt like a dirty cheap motel Marriott should drop this dump from their name I’ve been to dozens of different hotels and this is one of the worst in the city Go to Marriott City Center a few blocks down instead if you really want to be in that area, or if you need the full kitchen go to Marriott TownePlace Suites in North Loop Avoid this place, you’re welcome

We were here for 6+ weeks for a long term stay The staff was excellent and very accommodating for our three dogs We really enjoyed the hotel itself though the area is pretty rough

Being that close to the Twins stadium was a lot of funThey are very flexible and nice and we felt well taken care of The laundry facilities and gym were very helpful for our long stayMy only complaint would be that their breakfast lacks variety and got really old really fast but that was the only issueWe will definitely recommend this hotel to others and greatly appreciate all they did for us!

AMAZING LOCATION AND GREAT HOTELPros: Location location location! Great location if you are going to anything at the Target Center or Target Field Extremely easy to get to from the Airport, the Blue Line runs right next to it, and you have to maybe walk 15 steps outside (I went in winter, so that was important) until you can get to an elevator that takes you to the parking deck of Target Field, and then from there you walk into the parking deck for the Element Great service, very friendly staff, and awesome breakfast

The rooms were nice, comfortable, and new Probably the best hotel I’ve stayed at in the last couple yearsCons: Although the accessibility to Target Field and the Blue Line is great, be watchful because the homeless definitely take advantage of the heated waiting areas where the elevators are They aren’t near the hotel, but if you plan on using those areas just be aware I left for the airport at 5 in the morning, and there were about 7 homeless people in each area (first and second floor) this obviously leads to not a super clean place Nothing the hotel can do, but just thought I would point it out in case there were families that planned on using it

A J

Every staff member was friendly courteous and professional and went out of their way to help me I would definitely stay here again The rooms are modern and chic

The breakfast is bit bare bones – egg and cheese sandwiches – but they’re tasty! The hotel also provides bike rentals too A staff member named Bill legit left the front desk to walk me to the garage and pointed me in the right direction to find the closest blue line metro station to take to get to the airport I was visiting from New York / New Jersey area so I wasn’t used to this kindness and I so appreciated it Awesome experience at Element! Thank you for an awesome stay

This hotel was the same price as the Marquette where is usually stay but my friend had a room here for the weekend so I booked this instead Worst night at a hotel I had ever experienced About once every 30 mins the furnace would start, it sounded like a diesel generator

The first few rounds I thought there was construction outside it was so loud My fitness tracker said I slept for 1hr15min that night The bed was also extremely uncomfortable and the walls were so thin I could here people partying throughout the hotel all night when the furnace wasn’t running I ended my trip early and didn’t even stay my second night The shower was also just about unusable with how hard the spray was Wallpaper in the bathroom was peeling back and it was outdated and dirty The front desk staff was kind upon arrival and promptly refunded the parking I had been incorrectly charged for when I called the day after my stay I know not to have high hopes for hotel breakfast but the only hot option was breakfast sandwiches that were not even close to as good as the worst gas station bkfst sandwich I’ve ever had I will not return to this hotel There are similarly priced hotels in the area that are luxurious

Excellent food, service, and locationAs far as in building amenities go, the pool and gym are excellent, and there is electric car charging on the first floor of the parking garage/basement (2 Tesla only chargers, 1 standard electric charger)

The beds are comfortable, the rooms are clean, but this hotel needs an update It definitely shows some wear My last day I had a late flight back to LA and arranged for a late check out

Apparently nobody informed housekeeping They banged on my door at 9am Not happy about that Underground parking is a plus especially if you stay here in the winter Would I stay here again? I think that I will spend a few more dollars next time and stay in a hotel that’s a little more up to date

Got this place for my boyfriend and I plus my brothers and I wanted a place that offered separate rooms for that Was perfect! My boyfriend said, “this is bigger than some of the apartments I’ve lived” And he fell in love with the bed immediately

Loved the little kitchen My brothers loved the pool and gym room I wish the breakfast was better but was still better than other hotels I’ve been Mostly wanted an egg option with no cheese but I get that most people like eggs and cheese together

I was charged $1,400 randomly days after my stay, when i was charged an up front fee of $750 on the day of the stay I’ve been trying to talk to the manager but haven’t been successful There are also failed attempts to charge my debit card on file more than a handful of times

I would highly recommend you stay away from this hotel! I am looking into legal action for this matter

An absolute dumpThis review is for the hotel portion onlyElevators don’t work

We have to go up and down 12 flights of stairs (twice) Stairways not marked, not lit and several floors were blocked by power tools, cords etc…The rooms are very musty and dirty Tiny sinks and toilets and rooms not stockedNobody who works for the hotel is there They have a person that sits at the front desk, but they are very quick to tell you that they don’t work there Beautiful venue, but don’t ever stay here

Stayed here for a wedding Currently no staff on premises and you get your code to get in and out of the building and roomLocation is convenient to be in downtown St

Paul Did not park a vehicle for my stayElevator was having major issues during stay Was trapped on the 12th floor in the morningNo a/c on in the main parts so the hallways/elevators were hot Room a/c worked thankfullyBathrooms had step up to enter if you have mobility issues Bed was on the firmer side Room had fridge, microwave and kureg machine

The guy was grumpy that checked us in but another front desk person we met was nice We couldn’t use a gift card to pay for our room I booked the king room on booking

com because it was cheaper than booking with the hotel I liked the standard room better that we got the last time we stayed Our room had a kitchen, dishes, wine glasses and mini fridge with freezer We stayed for winter carnival and it was a perfect location The hotel has the top floors of the building St Paul athletic club has an awesome dry and wet sauna and really nice facilities Nice free breakfast but bring your own cup/mug since they only have disposable options They had recycling bin in the room which was a nice touch The housekeeping staff were very nice We love this hotel

We would have rated the hotel five stars if it had not been for the noise problem with our room Our room was attractive and clean, the staff friendly and helpful, and the complimentary breakfast bar very good However, the occupants in the room above us were excessively noisy for most of our 6-night stay

We talked to the front desk twice during our visit about the noise problem It sounded like there were children running constantly back and forth in their room or jumping up and down on the floor (it appeared that they spent most of their time each day in their room) The hotel staff did get the noise problem taken care of after 10 pm each night with the start of the hotel’s quiet time Oh but before 10 pm, you couldn’t fall asleep due to the thumping and running noise from above On the last night of our stay, we had an extra interruption to our sleep from a barking dog The hotel is pet friendly and allows dogs We were woken up twice by the woofing of a large dog

Good/clean beds and rooms, breakfast and workout room were highlights Area around hotel is safe and nice (grocery and restaurant across the parking lot) Front desk was helpful with providing cooking surface and pan Housekeeping was awesome

Had an issue with a room across the hall screaming all night because they were maybe 21 (I think they were 19-20) and it was their birthday (I know this because it was screamed multiple times and when asked to quiet down they responded with “but it’s my birthday”) Im guessing locals got a hotel room to party all night We called the desk twice roughy and hour apart about the noise we could hear everything( screaming, obscenities, arguing) with our door shut down the hall They knew exactly who I was taking about so I’m guessing we weren’t the only ones complaining at 2am We can deal with a little noise understanding it’s a hotel but was not expecting a local drunken party They sent security up and he didn’t really do anything about it just told them there were noise complaints and he was in a rough spot cause his boss wanted the noise to stop but that he understood They proceeded to yell the F word for the next 5 mins threatening to fight people and they just wanted to party Security heard all of this and left so that told us everything we needed to know about the support we would get, so we just stopped calling and got very little sleep that night thankfully it was only 1 night of our 3 night stay It’s a nice hotel besides that and maybe we just got unlucky, but hotel could have done something We will be trying a different hotel for our trips in the future

Similar complaint to the below comment We had been driving for 13 hours only to arrive to an extremely rude and combative employee who had informed us that our reservation had been canceled When asked why he mentioned something along the lines of a “daily audit” and if you arrive after midnight your reservation was canceled and we had to figure out another situation

NOWHERE on the site or on the premise was that policy stated I asked if there was anything that he could do, such as rebook, and he responded that he couldn’t help us and we needed to go somewhere else Fortunately the property right next door had availability and was able to giveus a bed to rest until another 10 hour travel day The next morning I went back to the property and was able to speak with the assistant GM, Brittany, who was a wonderful face of the company and extremely respectful She profusely apologized and refunded the stay that was charged Please get rid of the nightshift employee who is lazy and an zero value-add employee I understand it was a single employee in the wrong but gives me a bad perception of the Hilton brand as a whole and less inclined to book at any of their properties moving forward

I had a family dinner in the Garden Room The decor was beautiful and food was amazing! Amy helped me throughout the process and she was so helpful, friendly, and quick to respond! She worked the night of the event and I was glad we knew a member and felt comfortable asking her for anything! We also stayed in room 228 and the room was clean, and quiet! We didn’t here people walking the halls or doors shutting We had breakfast and it was phenomenal! The host was so kind and our server was awesome and attentive! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Stacia Kristo

Stayed in one of the newer rooms, but the room was musty smelling The room didn’t have a coffee machine, microwave or refrigerator For one night, it came out to $300, so i would’ve expected the room to have at least those things

The front desk actually stored some of our food in their fridge, which was nice! We liked our balcony and loved the location of the place! Close to all the action They had pull down shades, but it didn’t really block the light at all, so it was very bright when that morning sun hit our window I was up at 7 because the sun was so bright in our room

Convenient location to places we visited over the course of 4 daysBreakfast was less than ideal, but we managed and used it to hold everyone over until brunch The website stated that we would have 2 queen beds, but one of them was a full size bed

When we needed extra items, they were extremely helpful with bringing the items up to our room

Kristi Ferguson

I am not impressed with the staff at all Especially the cleaning staff It’s also entirely too hot throughout the hotel

The faucet in my room broke right away I asked for a clean bed blanket and was told they only had exact amount for each room, so I drove from Roseville to my storage in East Bethel for a blanketI have counted 2 to 3 days where the garbage sits in the hallwaysI’ve also had to call downstairs and was very upset because Housekeeping tried to enter my room without my permission, request or call They never knocked, or announced anythingIt’s bad enough for myself and my family that we have to be here long-term, and now it’s just very depressing

Tom Lennon (HVS Leak Detection)

Front door locked Nobody answered front desk phone to check in Came back an hour later to check in Breakfast was very poor

Out of eggs no meat was served scooped up last bowl of oatmeal Person serving breakfast working at an infuriating slow pace Does not affect me but heard others complain of no coffee Many other hotels in the area Choose another I will
