Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room itself was fine. There were some missteps like, for example, there was no clock in the room. I thought that was odd. We ran out of tissues which were not replaced during cleaning (although the empty box was removed). There was a piece of a bar of soap in the shower drain that I forgot to clear. After the room was serviced, it was still there. The toilet paper holder had come out of the wall, we mentioned it to the front desk attendant who assured us we would not have to pay for it ( he knew it was broken but wasn’t concerned about getting it fixed.) The window blinds were broken and could not be raised at all. The attention to detail and customer service was lacking.

Clean room and good customer service

Great customer service, clean rooms. Mattress not very comfortable. Bathroom was one of the smallest I’ve seen in a hotel lately. Breakfast was not included and is $14 per person.

The property decor was well done, the rooms are large, the staff is friendly, it smelled amazing, love the design of the lobby, and it was very accessible to our various destinations. The only thing was that our room was not cleaned the next day- we did not receive housekeeping services.

Mostly clean and modern

The hotel was mostly clean and modern. The coffee makers in our rooms were dusty and did not appear to be clean. This hotel did not offer breakfast. Would have been nice if they offered breakfast type items in the canteen area

Exhaust fan did not work. No electric outlet in bathroom, spiders, poor lighting in bedroom, bar was closed, outside facility was trashy & saw roaches. They charged and hold $25 for incidentals on your credit card and takes around 4 days to get your money back!

Overall i had a good stay, the breakfast was subpar. Both in food selection and in quality. Also parking was very difficult. Often times there were trucks with trailers taking multiple spaces. Making it more difficult to find a space or park safely

Disappointing stay

The room was standard and adequate, but when we discovered that we were assigned to a room where the bed sheets had not been changed and were dirty, we were appalled. The front desk responded quickly by offering us a new (and clean) room but they never offered an apology, and it was very unnerving to stay in a hotel with such low standards for cleanliness, and it greatly affected our satisfaction.
