Hotel was clean. Difficult to access, do yo road construction. I realize this isn’t your fault. Room conditions were clean. TV kept blinking on and off and the air conditioner was making a terrible noise everytime it came on. I was in room 126. Might want to check that out.
Could had been better running water from shower for 2 nights breakfast was a joke better be there when it opens will not last long they did not restock.
The suite was very large but not very comfortable. There were large stains all over the carpet and the pullout couch was dirty once opened. Most unsettling was a smoke detector in the bedroom that was covered in plastic. Luckily, there was a second detector in the living area. Also important to note--parking is limited and mostly taken up by construction vehicles. It was fine for one night, but I would not return.
Shower Fixtures literally fell apart in my hand. We were unable to shower - in town for a funeral.
Window shade was completely non-functional, so it felt as if we were in a dark cell.
Staff seemed apathetic and offered no resolution.
Go elsewhere if you hope to bathe during your stay!
Paid for a room with a big tube and didn’t get it. Instead they thought it was ok to give me a “bigger room” that we didn’t want or need. Could have gotten a better room for 100$ less anywhere else.
Customer service was wonderful, and the place was clean. Only issue was that the 2nd elevator was not working so it took longer than usual to wait for the one elevator.
Service was amazing. Super friendly but our room was very hot, like a furnace. We asked them to check the AC and they quickly did. They then advised we would need to switch rooms, which was no problem, but the 2nd room was just as bad. It’s almost as if the AC units have some sort of dampener to make them only run 1-2 minutes.
