Lawerence checked us in and he was fantastic. Our room wasnt ready so he upgraded us at no cost. The smoke detector in the room was beeping and within 5 minutes Lawrence had someone in to replace the battery. Over all the staff were great.

Dirty dining equipment, salt and pepper shackers were covered with dried on food as was the walls, coffee pot ect. I am a IHG member, this hotel increased the price of the room for what i believe to be corporate greed. The heat/air conditioner had to be upluged to turn it off. There's no reason why i should have to pay close to $300.00 for a one night stay. I will never vist this property again.
