Staff were very helpful and pleasant. No heat control working and solutions was to open window with -12 temperature out side. Amenities that attracted us where shut down the day we arrive for full time of stay. Elevator not operational for the duration of our stay. Result was canceled after one night and we did get a full refund.

The room was really nice, everything was clean! The hotel informed me (after all ready having it booked) that the pool and elevator was out of order (once we arrived we seen it’s because they are doing a bunch of Reno’s) which wasn’t a problem for us it was a 1 night stay. I just think it should have been said before rhe booking incase we couldn’t do stairs. Anyways the hotel itself very nice and with the Reno’s it will be even better I’m sure! The gentleman that checked us in was also very very nice and great at his job!

Upon arriving the room and staff was excellent then after that when we arrive back from our outing, we discovered the television was not working so we called down front desk answered and said will send somebody up 45 minutes later my wife calls again and they said someone will be up there in about five or 10 minutes The gentleman did arrive close to 10 minutes after look like we were disturbing him no communication even when we said thank you did not acknowledge us. Was very disappointed in that then after that went to hook up her Wi-Fi and it said her room name did not match so we could not cook our Wi-Fi so we have spotted off Cell phone for our iPad because it does not have Internet on. It overall was not very pleased about all that did not want to call downstairs and disturb the gentleman again plus we called numerous times before they answered the phone every time we called.
