"A place to stay"

6.0

The breakfast was a bit to be desired with only bagels, packages muffins, yogurt, instant oatmeal packets & juice. Coffee was available but in small Styrofoam cups. The hotel is changing to a Spark by Hilton come August so not sure if that will address the breakfast. Room was fine and clean with slightly low water pressure and a cracked sink bowl. The duvets on both beds had small stains.

This is an older hotel and not up to the standard you'd expect from a Radisson. The property is currently under renovation and is transitioning into a Spark by Hilton. There are signs advising guests to keep the drapes closed. During our stay, the hotel felt unclean, and the bathtub made loud noises while showering. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

The room had a very distinct moldy odor that confronted you immediately upon opening the door to the room; however, staff quickly assigned us a different room that did not have this issue.
