The room was lovely but the shower could be updated. Also, parking is too much when staying at the hotel :$32 a night on top of the $22 fee they add each night for gym, pool and WiFi. Overall, a decent location and good facilities.

Front desk staff were great! The elevators from the garage were not working so we had to haul our suitcases all the way from the garage to the front door. They only had one golf cart to help ferry customers from the garage and this was overwelmed

I wasn't happy with a few things. The body wash container in the shower was completely missing. I asked for it to be replaced and some small hand soaps were put on my counter instead. I ordered room service several times, most meals were fine but my beinets had a French fry on the plate. Staff was very friendly.

Staff were very nice and understanding. For the cost of a night the building needed updating. Poor cleaning practices. I had to change my room due to unfortunate circumstances and the couches were dirty in every room. My "upgraded" room was smaller than my original room and didnt have a microwave. If i didnt have plans, i would not have wanted to stay in the room all day. No shuttle to/from the airport, the shuttle onlys transports within a 2 mile radius. Again the staff was great.
