We definitely had a great stay, the Hotel and rooms were very clean, staff were very nice and friendly too. The BEST part was BREAKFAST, in all of my travels over many years at different Hotels your Hotel had the best breakfast selection and food quality we’ve ever had. You definitely have the greatest chef on site. We definitely plan to return in the very near future as our choice hotel to stay. Thank you 😊

FLEAS
The moment we checked into the room, we realized it was completely INFESTED WITH FLEAS!!!! We immediately grabbed our stuff and ran out of the room. Unfortunately, our dog had already been covered in fleas so we spent the next several days cleaning and bathing both our dog and all our belongings to avoid bringing them to our home. The only silver lining was that hotels.com refunded our money back to us.

Room was clean. Window shade didn't work, Staff did not care, said there was no repairman. 24 Hr coffee bar was a plus, but there was no creamer after the first day. Staff reply, "We out." Breakfast was good. When I asked for a receipt at checkout, the mgr said "We cant do that". WHAT? Parking lot was a mass of potholes. I will never stay at another IHG hotel
