Barbara

Traveled with family
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Our main problem was that the walls in the rooms were terribly thin. The person next to us had their TV blaring loudly all night long and my husband and I didn’t get any sleep. I did call the front desk in the middle of the night and asked them to take care of this and they said they would look into it. Nothing was done. Spent quite a bit of time trying to talk to management about reducing our bill due to no sleep. They said they would give us a certain amount of money off of the rate and as of today (6 days), we have not seen that credit come through. Also we were surprised at a Radisson hotel only having choice of a cold breakfast with nothing hot. The last thing I will mention is that the lobby area and our room smelled of a cleaning solution that I was very sensitive to.

Nice room for a great price! Bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. There was a small breakfast, but could use more options along with more drink options at breakfast. Pool area was nice, water could be warmer. The lobby was very welcoming and the staff was very friendly.

Short stay

I don't really have a while lot to stay since we got in late and left early. The beds were comfortable once you get situated. We were all so tired, we just fell asleep. Deal help was fine. The only thing we noticed was one of the USB outlets wasn't working. There plenty of plug ins for the room though

Closed restaurant.

The hotel restaurant/bar is "closed until further notice," which is fine, but the hotel should update their listing on this site to make sure it accurately reflects the conditions. That availability did factor into our decision of where to stay, so this was disappointing.
