“OK? I Guess”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

Staff is very friendly, great bunch of people. However, service in the restaurant and bar are terrible. VERY slow. Food is sometimes cold. I have had a waitress disappear forever and a new one in her place. Showers are usually plugged up and the toilets seem to be hit or miss if they flush. Ceiling leaks if you get a room on the 12th (top) floor. Rooms are relatively clean. Terrible old TVs that you can barely read/see anything on. The Heat/AC units do not work properly (blows cold air when heat is turned on, happened in multiple rooms I've stayed) Most of the room doors do not shut all the way, I'm sure it would be easy to break in to one so don't leave anything too nice in your room all day. Wi-FI is terribly slow and hard to get a connection, you need to connect to the network cable at the room desk. The moat out front smells interesting. The concierge lounge is nice but has minimal food most the time. At least the drinks are good, you'll need one staying here. Comfortable beds though!!

Room Tip: Not on the 12th. It's noisy from the AC units on the roof. Not near the pool, too noisy. Middle...

“Reservation cancellation - hotel was very nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

I booked a room with the thought of staying the night after a company Christmas party but cancelled 2 days ahead of time. However, my card was charged for the room anyway. It has now been over 2 weeks, many phone calls and a dispute filed with my bank and I don't have the money refunded yet. Now I'm told it takes up to 14 days to get a refund. They can certainly take it out of your account fast but it takes up to 14 days to get it back? Make sure you check your statement if you ever cancel here.

“Very Nice Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

Great beds, nice suites. Needs new TVs (old 25 incher, not a flat screen). Best value for money in area. Often cheaper than Courtyard and other Marriott properties close by. Poor parking lot due to wetland area.

“Front desk staff awful”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

Granted we arrived late at night, @ 1 AM, so there was a skeleton crew of two hood rats behind the desk... totally rude and uncommunicative. When we asked where to park, they just
shrugged, mumbled " over there" while pointing to the door, and walked away. You could feel the hate. Morning staff wasn't much friendlier. Maybe it's a training spot for people just getting out of prison. Rooms were OK, clean. Got a great price on a Sunday through a third party, but due to completely unprofessional staff I would give a low rating.
