remodeling happens

We got there and found out the hotel use under major remodeling. Lobby hallways had sheetrock and light dust throughout. Not a deal breaker because it is an improvement. Just unfortunate. very friendly staff and very comfortable beds. Also, very windy day and there was a howling through our window possibly part of the remodel.

Everything was good for our stay except for the elevator being out of service. While it was simply a minor inconvenience for us - for an elderly group it would have been much more difficult.

I requested a Handicap room .I got a room with a bar in the shower. Toilet was to low to the ground and very hard to get off and on for a Handicap person point of view. No handles around the toilet. No seat or hand held showet attachment in shower, so I could not take a shower.

Charge too much $$ for uncomfortable beds. Smoky smelling room was supposed to be non smoking. This one is not up to Holiday Inn standards. As well as their famous pancake machine was not cooking pancakes. Tammy front desk friendly!

The only thing was that the pancake machine was not dialed in so they were under done and gummy. Fresh fruit was a welcome addition and the size of the milk was great not having to pour it out of a pitcher was nice too. Staff was friendly and courteous.
