Tons of rats running around the outside of the building but at least the inside was free of them. haha. But the staff here was incredibly rude and unhelpful. We asked for bedding for the sofa bed 3 times over two hours. At first we figured everything was busy due to a convention in town but then we called after another hour and they said they would bring it up. Another hour goes by and still no bedding so we had to call a 3rd time. At some point after two hours and 3 calls a man finally shows up throws the bedding at me and walks away. If you know the room is going to have 2 beds you could save the hotel time and just leave extra sheets and pillows in the room. This was certainly not a good value to service stay.

The hotel was good and it had all the amenities you would typically expect. The beds are comfy to get a good night's sleep. The only thing to note is the parking is available as valet and is not complimentary.

The box and the shower are fantastic; the best I've ever used. They don't drip and wet the floor, and the water jets are strong.

Great stay for the family

Only stayed for one night, but had a great experience. Lashay was so helpful in getting us checked in early as well as adding on an additional room. They only offer valet parking, but the team was so responsive with the help of online communications. I could order my car before I leave the room and it was generally pulled up within 10 min. Coffee and hot chocolate were available 24/7 in the lobby and they offered a breakfast with options to suit everyone.
