Every thing was good for the most part but I was disappointed to find that the restaurants all had the same menu. I figured with multiple restaurants a larger variety of food- but that wasn’t case.

Not Handicap friendly hotel
Room was dusty and food stuck on hard surfaces. Hair through out the room and bathroom.
This hotel does not cater well to its handicapped patrons. Getting into the hotel is difficult, having to take 2 elevators to grab a suitcase trolley. There was no help offered or a closer room available. The shuttles is free but beware that shuttle does not have a chair lift. This is a medical area hotel and I would expect better from them. Many patrons are there to receive treatment from the hospitals nearby. Patients that are sick and weak who need wheelchairs. Please consider doing better and train front desk to offer help or reserve rooms correctly.

The food offered was subpar and expensive.
One waffle $14 too freezer burnt and over cooked, couldn’t cut with a knife. Bagel $6.50 was two bottoms, stale, over toasted, couldn’t cut with a knife.

Disappointed
Lacking in cleanliness. No fitted bottom sheets- flats just placed on bed. No ice machines, no vending machines, confusing garage parking. See photos.

Beds poorly made. One bed had brown stains on the white comforter. There was a build up of dirt and dust behind the beds. The counter sink area had what appeared to be rodent droppings in the cabinets. The bathtub showed wearing and tear with chipping. Restaurant order fries were under cooked and wings both days were slightly undercooked and near burnt.
