A nice property nestled right into the crazy that is Canal Park. I love the elevators requiring card insertion, as extra security is never a bad thing. The staff was awesome, always having answers and being very efficient with our requests. The breakfast buffet was very good! The only downsides were the phones in our room not having their cords attached, and the shower drain was not sloped enough or unclogged to properly drain the water during showers. Other than that, it was a great stay!

Bed was very uncomfortable. Heat was on and set to 70 degrees, but room consistently stayed at 64 degrees. Clanging in the overhead pipes that lasted all night. Would not stay here again.

The room was very warm, had the thermostat set to 50, but our room stayed 75 . I heard other people complain about their rooms being warm as well. Took kids swimming and the pool was freezing. There were homeless people in both entryways of the building.

Check-in took too long. We arrived 30 minutes early and the hotel made us wait. 4 o’clock came around and it still wasn’t ready. They gave us another room anyway so, why make us wait? The key cards were used and worked intermittently for the elevators and room door which was a pain for a bigger family. Staff was lame and rude all around. Front desk - no work attire or name tags, no smiles. Kitchen staff - tired and late, all sass. Dining area is way too small for the amount of people they have to feed. Parking is across busy Lake Avenue with 2 hour parking down the block but you probably won’t get to use it because it’s filled with bar patrons.
