An extra $200 hold was immediately put on our card on top of the room charge. The area ia not an ideal area. The back door of the hotel was frequently left open. As soon as we got to the 3rd floor, you could smell marijuana very strong. When we went into the room, the bench fabric was peeling off. There was also water damage by the window.

Checking in was really easy even though we came in really late in the morning the room was nice and had fridge and microwave and a welcome sign on table with room service and robot to bring snacks if you wanted we did not use that as vending machine was also walking distance from room. Very nice staff and breakfast was very good at different selections for everyone. All staff was nice.

The room was quiet and clean. The breakfast was good, and the coffee was excellent. But the electronic blinds kept raising and lowering by themselves, at 7:30am and at about 3pm. The desk didn't know why that was happening.

The staff was great. However, I chose this hotel because it said one of the rooms came with a jetted tub. My fiancé and I were so excited and bought items for the jet tub experience. But when we got to the room, it was just a standard tub. We thought there was a mistake and went back down to the front desk. The manager said it was outdated on the hotels app and that they were sorry for the misunderstanding. Even though they refunded us $30 for the inconvenience, I was still extremely upset because we were looking forward to the jet tub. I did so much research and never had this happen until now.
