positive:
Service from the staff is generally good.
Comments about the employees at this hotel can vary, but are generally positive. Most staff members are friendly, but on occasion there is someone who isn't very helpful about answering questions regarding hotel policies.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Prices can shift on guests.
People staying at this hotel will want to keep an eye on their bill. Reviews state the price of a stay can change from booking to arrival, and management doesn't do a great job of explaining why prices suddenly increase.
negative:
Onsite bar is popular local spot.
Average Joes Sports Lounge is an area highlight for catching a game or having a few drinks. Because so many locals patron this bar, hotel guests will have to deal with a lot of noise as well as drunken people.
negative:
Food in the restaurant is average at best.
Dining onsite at the restaurant, the Gort Dining Room, is okay but not a great experience according to posted comments. The quality of the food is just average and doesn't really live up to the prices.
