helpful staff clean hotel central location misleading verbiage no extension no concessions
the staff took the time to be helpful upon my arrival, and at the restaurant. the hotel is clean and well maintained. its location is central and allows for nice walks to many attractions.
I found my misplaced gift certificate, and i decided to call the hotel to make a reservation, but they could not honor it. the hotel had some misleading verbiage on the certificate. It claimed it was valid until june 3 but cannot be used during peak season, starting may 1. autumn, the department manager, was not willing to extend it until after the peak season ending september 30.
