Nice location, friendly service. But….the television situation is a mess. 4 trips to the front desk, very complicated system to operate the tv. Channel buttons don’t work, on purpose. You have to type in each number and can’t just scroll around. Also, my shower head dripped the entire time, not an issue until trying to sleep. I’ve stayed here a few times and will stay again, but could use some updates on small things.

Needs a Little Love!

Great breakfast serving many people this morning and staff was working hard to please guests. EXCELLENT coffee! Only one elevator working and thus with a full house waiting a bit and crowed elevators. TV system in the rooms just beyond understanding...No instructions on how to use, where stations were...nothing printed and remote did not work as expected.
