8/10 Good
"This breaks my heart to write but I most likely will not stay here again. The staff that worked there was absolutely amazing. They were super friendly, quick to assist when needed and they are why this is a 3 star review and not a 1 star. Breakfast food was hot and good. The food and service was great at the attached restaurant as well. Now for the sad part... To whomever owns the hotel, you need to replace all of the carpeting in the hotel. Our room smelled like cat pee when you entered. Attended a reception in your event room and the carpet was black with dirt leading up to the doors."
