Hotel was fine but several issues. Cons: Not enough pillows or towels for a family of 3 staying in a king suite. Poor (weirdly small) pillows. No dressor in the king bedroom - so no where to put clothes!! Was very strange - how a dressor was missing so could only hang items but not fold or have anywhere for socks, etc. This was a major drawback - when staying nearly a week and nowhere to put folded items. No conditioner in shower - need to ask front desk - cannot get from maid service (which BTW is only every 3 days). WiFi did not work on cell phone. The key card stopped working at least 1-2 times each day over our nearly week stay!! Very annoying to have to go down repeatedly to front desk for new activated card. Pool was cold (confirmed by 3 separate guests) and jacuzzi ok but not really hot. Weekend rate is costly for this type of hotel. Pros: Location good. Breakfast had nice variety. Room spacious and clean.

The towels were dirty - 2 out of 3 of them had stains. The room smelled like smoke and air freshener. The coffee was not good. The shower screamed the whole time it was in use. Staff was great, though. Parking lot was not maneuverable several hours after winter storm.

There was no staff to check us in when we arrived. We tried ringing the bell multiple times, called number, no answer. Walked around hotel, knocking on doors, nothing. About to give up and go to another hotel, and then someone came out. Waited about 30 minutes

The rooms are fairly large and have a full size fridge, dishwasher, etc. The room is stocked with supplies and the beds were comfortable, Could have used extra blankets but we did not ask. Parking is easy. The breakfast hours on the weekend are way too early for us, they close at 9:30a on a Sunday.

Clean rooms, extremely comfortable for work with the desk area. Great location, there is a bus stop right next to the hotel that took me right downtown. They are a dog friendly hotel. Typical hotel breakfast - coffee, juice, cereal, pastry, eggs, bacon/sausage, mini pankace machine.

We had a 2 night stay over the weekend, the conference room was booked for a party on our 2nd night. Our room was right above the conference room... this hotel is poorly insulated as we heard the music pounding and vibrating our room until the end of the party at midnight. We have girls that had to get up at 3am to get ready for their dance competition. This hotel is not equipped to hold parties in the evenings when their GUESTS are trying to wind down and sleep. The frond desk staff was rude about the whole thing too... i know partially because they had TONS of complaints including one from our neighbor that night... a homeland security officer. I was patient enough not to complain but when hotels usually have QUIET TIME hours after 10pm.... they should also be mindful of their guests. WILL NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN FOR THEY WAY WE WERE TREATED. DID NOT GET A REFUND OR ANY COMPENSATION FOR OUR INCONVENIENCE.

Here for a 2 night stay. Staff was rude the moment I checked in.. as if me checking in was an interruption. There was smell of weed in the lobby hallway up to the room. The room was however nice and clean. 2nd night here... there was a party in the conference room on the 1st floor right below our room.... they stated there wasnt a quiet time and the party was booked until midnight. Stated that if i left at 1030pm i wouldnt be charged although i already paid thru Expedia. Terrible answer

Room was spacious with a full kitchen and full-size fridge. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean, and we enjoyed our two-night stay. Plenty of dining options in the area and a fairly quick drive to UW. The pool and hot tub looked nice, but we didn't use these. The breakfast was average; did have eggs and waffles, so no real complaints. We would stay again when in the area.

Room was fairly clean. Had to run the hot water for 10 minutes to get it warm for the initial shower of the day. Stayed 2 nights, was not told that room would not be serviced unless it was 3 day stay. Standard breakfast was okay. Staff was very indifferent, unfriendly, and overall not welcoming. Would never stay at this property again.
