Not as hospitable as a hotel should be

I really couldnt believe qhen i showed up and asked where i could buy bottles of water for the room, and they said "walmart or the bar has mini bittles for $3). For some reason i was gofted a coupon for a drink in the bar, but you dont sell water fkr the rooms of peoples dogs.. weird priorities.. all they could say was "we dont have a gift shop anymore". My response, "this is bad hospitality and customer service.." i stay in 4-6 hotels a week across the country.. a good hotel is literally hard to find anymore.. there is not attention to the guests at all.. if a guest needed to buy deodorant or a toothbrush, no luck.. and nobody could really tell me other than "i think theres a walmart somewhere "

Lovely

Great location, they are renovating so the main lobby is relocated during this time to the garden side. We had an updated room on the 5th floor. It was very nice. No hair dryer, but not a big deal grabbed one at Walmart for $10. Linens and bed were fresh and comfy. Towels were nice and soft. Not the hotel fault but someone set off fire alarm at 8:30 ish this morning but was handled very well.5 flights of stairs means I got my steps in. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. It was unfortunately for us a weekend of youth baseball tournaments so lots of kids. My only suggestion is to not allow baseball to be played in the parking lot near cars, other than that staff was amazing. I asked for a suggestion of a less crowded area to sit outside for some quiet in the evening and the gentleman working suggested the patio area by the main lobby that is being renovated as no one was over there and told me how to get there on one of the the pretty paths and I found that to be a perfect spot to relax for a bit as the other areas and pool were just over flowing with children having fun. Staff planned well for the kids and had us on a floor with no baseball team so it was great!!! All in all a lovely place, we chosen it to try the restaurant or bar as after full days of seeing family and being in busy restaurants and bars we just wanted some quiet time in the evening.
