The bathroom ceiling was falling apart. There were a lot of surprise charges on my bill. Parking is $40 per night not per stay. The breakfast is pretty basic and fine if you can eat gluten. The access to the 24hour service was great and free pinball is always fun!

Staff were wonderful but hotel was cold and uncomfortable. Cost for parking was absolutely ridiculous… it cost me equal to the car rental to park. Unsafe shower/bathtub set up. Now others in my group didn’t have the same problem with shower however we were all cold throughput the building. Strange since we are Colorado people and cold isn’t an issue. Trying not to whine but a very disappointing stay…

The vibes at this hotel are amazing. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff, cozy and inviting spots to sit and hang out everywhere you look. The rooms were spotless and appealing. My only negatives were: no coffee maker in the room, no locks on the bathroom door, and the breakfast pastries were pretty stale. But the price and location was right and I'll definitely stay here again!

The free breakfast could have a slightly better offer in terms of variety. I understand and appreciate that it is free however if you offer it should have a bit more variety. The room was good but could hear a lot of noise from the room next to us and above us

The hotel was very clean. It’s advertised as family friend and it was, the free arcade and games was perfect for my kids but unfortunately the room was very small for a family. I was also not aware I would have to pay extra $20 for parking and $30 for amenities which are usually included in the price of the room, anyhow breakfast was part of the extra charge and their “continental breakfast” was horrible! I hade stayed at a holiday inn the night previous and they had an amazing spread compared to this place that had muffins cereal and milk… anyways I would not recommend.
