I liked that they allowed me early check in and late check out. It was also nice to have stores and food within walking distance. We didn't like that the elevator felt dangerous and was loud... and of course... right next to our room. We also had tiny ants in our room. We saw one on the bed and one in the bathroom.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The rooms were fairly clean, hot breakfast was good. But customer service was extremely low, the receptionist barely talked to me or explained anything about the property. Nothing!! ( I thought he can’t talk at first till he had to tell me about the deposit) There was way too many pets at the hotel that weighed more than 25lb as it’s allowed and they were loud too. All of that besides the fire alarm that woke us around 2am and when we called room service they said it’s a falls alarm because someone was smoking in the room( which is not allowed) he was chilled about it n seemed like it happened more often. We were so scared n ready to take the stairs down thinking there was fire. Again!! No apology or anything. So rude!!!

Would stay here again for sure. Everything was clean. Beds and pillows were super comfortable. Water pressure in the shower was amazing. Breakfast was good too. Pool was on the smaller side but we didn’t swim so it didn’t matter to us…
