I stayed at this hotel for a weekend event. During my time here, the beds were comfortable and it took me little time to fall asleep. My stay also involved half of the site's four elevators being down for its entire duration. Hotel concessions also seemed somewhat sparse; I seem to recall that a table was only set up mid-day Saturday. There was also an impression that the hotel did not believe in the capabilities of my event's staff; this was especially evident in making things so difficult to run that one particular event had to be called off due to lacking electricity.

Going back to the issue of limited elevator functionality, I regularly utilized the stairs connecting floors, despite the absence of access to the hotel's second floor-the floor where the bulk of my event's activities were being held. I point out that my room was several floors above the event floor, leaving me often worn out and driving me to my luxurious bed sooner than I would otherwise have liked. I would have liked if the hotel were happy to keep con events running beyond midnight, but I believe most hotels in this area would much rather charge twice as much and do half as much work to entertain wedding parties.

Lastly, I had heard from multiple sources that a hotel employee overstepped his position by barging in on a room to complain at guests when the event had already hired law enforcement to solve any issues.
