Liked: Staff & service
The staff, room and service were good. I was in town overnight for a basketball tournament for my 16 year old daughter. The parking lot and lobby was filled with loud people, drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana and arguing. Surprisingly most of the people were from the local military base. This went on well into the early morning hours. Each time we entered and exited the hotel the crowd was louder and more intoxicated. We had to go to the laundromat to wash my daughter’s uniform, when I returned after 1:30 am the crowd was still congregating and causing chaos. The staff should have asked them to disperse or called the police.

What I didn’t like was the explicit content descriptions on the TV Guide. If there will be Xrated content for purchase I’m not for it, but when you are scanning the descriptions shouldn’t read as they do.
