Everything went fine with the exception that the hotel would not provide us their courtesy transportation to 1 mile away to an event because it's their policy not to provide the free transportation on days when their are events going on.on the college campus. I would think it would be on a first come, first served basis, but guess not. Otherwise everyone was friendly and helpful.

Thank you for staying with us and taking the time to complete our survey! We're happy to hear from you and glad you enjoyed our hotel. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us while visiting the area. I can understand your frustration with the availability of our complimentary transportation. While we strive to provide the service to all Guests, the intricacies of event transportation, including traffic patterns and venue access, make it difficult for us to provide at certain times. We value your feedback and hope to see you again soon.
