The staff was wonderful and the bar was great. We were given an ADA room, I assume because we booked the day before. The bathroom door was a challenge to close and very creaky. The shower was less than clean. I would stay there again but not in that room.

We booked a room with two double beds. We got one king bed. That was a disappointment- and we were not offered a new room. Parking garage is inconvenient. Everything else was terrific.
