Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Our main problem was that the walls in the rooms were terribly thin. The person next to us had their TV blaring loudly all night long and my husband and I didn’t get any sleep. I did call the front desk in the middle of the night and asked them to take care of this and they said they would look into it. Nothing was done. Spent quite a bit of time trying to talk to management about reducing our bill due to no sleep. They said they would give us a certain amount of money off of the rate and as of today (6 days), we have not seen that credit come through. Also we were surprised at a Radisson hotel only having choice of a cold breakfast with nothing hot. The last thing I will mention is that the lobby area and our room smelled of a cleaning solution that I was very sensitive to.

Great bed dirty room

It was filthy underneath the bed. The bathroom floor was disgusting. The internet with disconnect and reconnect all night. But it had one of the best beds I've slept in so there's a plus.

Listed as having breakfast but all it had was coffee, yogurt, bagels and fruit. The room set-up was much like a lower end hotel with the sink right inside the door. The folding closet door would not shut so it stuck out.

The staff was incredible. The room was okay, can’t expect much with price point. But bed was good, shower worked fine and room was okay. No hot breakfast, which I wasn’t planning for anyways. Very close to ISU.

Property is showing its age and is lacking in upkeep. Air conditioner in our room was super loud. Had to wear earplugs to try and block the noise. The one treadmill was broken and there was no air circulation in the fitness room. Property is changing to Choice so maybe they will invest in upkeep.

Very good aside from one significant glitch

Bed was VERY comfortable and room was spacious and clean. We requested bedding for the fold out couch (not comfortable at all, but no fold outs are) and very shockingly, the sheet provided in the bedding kit was dirty—very clearly unclean from bodily fluids. I asked the front desk for another set as the sheets were dirty and the employee was very apologetic and she handled it well. So I have to question how a sheet like that ended up in a bag of “clean” laundry and it made me a bit concerned about the bedding in general, but everything else seemed fine. Other than that very unpleasant surprise, things were very good and very clean.
