This was my second time at this property in 6 weeks. I won’t be back until they resolve their elevator issues. Spent a lot of time waiting for elevators that never came and taking the stairs instead. We had issues with elevators six weeks ago and now they’re even worse. Even ran into the elevator repair guy who seems to be making daily trips because they won’t replace these unreliable cars. Three elevators and you can’t get one to come, or if it comes and you get in, you can’t get it to take you anywhere. Unacceptable and intolerable. We were stuck on a parking level with all our bags and tried the customer assistance phone on the wall - guess what? It doesn’t work! Avoid the on-site restaurant - expensive for just passable food and poor service.

The facility could use some updating. A basic expectation of a hotel room is cleanliness. Ours wasn't clean. Stains on our bedsheet is an absolute no in my opinion. A second room was offered.
