We have been unable to heat the room above 63 degrees. The bathroom has no door- this is awkward as we are sharing the room with a family friend.

The room and bed were clean and comfortable but dining options were limited. The food from their sports bar was stale and I was sick for three days with severe food poisoning the night after I ate there. What is surprising is that when I wrote to the F&B manager, I didn’t receive any response from them even acknowledging the issue.

Hotel was beautifully renovated but for a newly hotel there are minor but noticeable imperfections. I stayed in a room with a king bed. Bed comfort was average. Room was clean and again beautifully renovated with new furniture and carpet.There was loud sound playing somewhere that sounded like drums playing. My stay was not during football season and thank goodness because if I had to pay more than what I did I would be disappointed. Pets are allowed which I don't prefer.

Overall very nice. It wasn't high season so I wonder how the restaurants and staff can handle a large crowd. Service was acceptable but not fast. Only other negative besides parking is the timed lights in the bathroom. It went completely dark during my shower. I had to open the shower door for the lights to come back on.
