Nice place to stay for...

Liked: Staff was very friendly and responsive. Loved being able to text front desk and get quick requests answered.My request for a room close to the elevator was met. Hotel is well maintained and nice lobby area. While they are not aesthetically pleasing, the hotel puts large boxes w/ garbage bags along the hallways. (Not sure if this is just done when there are dance conventions and a lot of families w/ kids in the rooms). This is fantastic for people to get rid of food/garbage from their rooms since the small trash cans never fit those things and no one likes walking past discarded food trays in the halls.
Disliked: They need to figure out the restaurant situation. This is my second year staying there. Breakfast grab and go is fine and met our needs. But I met a friend at 12:30 for lunch in restaurant and we were just about the only ones there. Still took a while to place and order and get food. Cobb Salad was depressingly bad chicken was dry and cold, avocado was hard. Husband and son ate there at dinnertime and it took forever for chicken fingers and a a burger (although those were very good when served). Many other guests were complaining about how long it took to get food or even a drink. It felt understaffed even though the hotel knew they'd have hundreds present for a convention. On the plus side staff was very nice and trying hard.
