    Where to begin? ~Deep in thought~ I arrived around 1pm with the faint illusion of an early check-in. Hoping to steal a cheeky 2 hours from the ‘IHG man’ only to be foiled by the front desk receptionist who very curtly responded to my polite request with “Check in is at 3pm. None of the rooms are clean yet. I’m sorry.” I was heartbroken, destitute. How could she rebuff me without even pretending to clack away at the keyboard?? I took my defeat with grace and headed down the street to grab coffee from a local joint (review to be included separately). Arriving later, adequately caffeinated, and not a second past 3pm to make full use of my stay I was greeted by a different front desk receptionist. She had everything ready to go. Like clockwork. Friendly, efficient, she meant business. The room was clean, spacious, and had all the standard hotel accoutrements. Nice Dove products in the bathroom which I made sure to use superrr hard in a vain attempt to avenge my stolen early check-in. TV was setup perfectly for watching college football late into the night while I dozed off on a comfy bed that could use FLUFFIER pillows (hint hint). Overall a very decent experience. The hotel itself stayed pretty busy throughout the evening and the breakfast options in the morning were stellar. They have a bean-to-cup machine which will always bring a smile to face :)

    As a 20 year veteran of IHG hotels, this was the worst experience in the chain. 1. Checked into a room that was recently smoked in, had to switch rooms. 2. From 2:05am to 2:45am a loud alarm was going off in a room on same floor. It woke up entire floor. It was someones phone. After 40 mins, and a middle night call to front desk, then a visit to front desk they finally went to investigate. 2:50am alarm was finally turned off. 3. 9am, stop by front desk to chat about the nights alarm, walk into the snack shop, grab a water to purchase. Treated like a criminal, saying I cant go into the store. No sign posted just an absolute rude, put that back, you can not go in there. Why have the store, if your not selling the product. Strangest and worst experience with IHG ever. Do not recommend, and absolutely 100% will drive a hour to avoid this place and there people.

    Good location and I appreciated the early check-in, but that’s where the positives end. My room was dirty, a beer cap on the floor, dirt on the couch and even on the bed that I had to wipe off, unclean fridge/microwave, peeling paint, and a streaked mirror. The hallways and elevator looked run-down, and the pool was not clean, plus, the advertised hot tub doesn’t exist. The rooms are definitely not soundproof. I could hear every noise from the hallway, other floors, and cars outside. The pictures on the website are very deceiving. Overall, very disappointing and nowhere near a 4.1-star hotel.

    So after a 9 hour drive to this hotel, the location was easy to find. However, the front desk lady was super rude and not very friendly. We arrived at about 130 in the morning and checked into our room to be super disappointed in the room. It was absolutely disgusting. The room was suppose to have a sofa bed and a king size bed. It had the king size bed, but definitely not a sofa bed, as we planned on my two kids sleeping on the sofa bed. So we all had to try and sleep on one bed. The pictures on their page is very misleading. The couch that was pictured for the room I booked was not what was in the hotel. It was yucky and stained as well as the chair. The ceiling had brown water stains and the room smelt terrible. The toilet was not mounted down good and everytime we would use it, it sounded like it was about to just fall apart. I will never stay at this hotel again.
