Three elevators only one of them in service on a busy holiday weekend. Why? If that was the case, “ok, no problem” but for the long lines of having to wait for the elevator, comp my parking cost. Which by the way is also high.

Clean room, good shower, sofa little old with tears, one of three elevators working only…very inconvenient with a large hotel like this one, breakfast is average, parking garage is not connected to hotel so have to walk around outside to get to hotel lobby, location of hotel is convenient to river/lake and downtown and Capitol.

The lobby, dining and bar area was very nice and everyone that worked there were very nice and friendly. We were there for 4 days and the hallway was never vacuumed the whole time we were there. The rooms need to be renovated. The breakfast was awesome.

It was ok, the parking lot was not connected to the hotel. All elevators were broken except one. It was very hard for us since we needed ADA and there was no parking remotely close to the elevators. The room I got didn’t have a bench in the shower as advertised on the pictures. The pull out mattress was also like 2 in thick and very hard to lay on. The service however was nice they came when needed. It was more of the other little issues and struggles that made it difficult.
