Disliked: Room comfort
Thin walls and non-existent quiet hours
This was our second time staying here. The first time a year ago was great, but this time, not so much. I booked the larger size of the two bedroom suites, although the unit we were given didn’t seem as big as last time. It was clean, but I did find clumps of hair on the floor of the smaller bathroom. The worst part was that my parents and I hardly got any sleep due to all the noise. There was someone above us who must’ve been putting furniture together until 4am because they kept dropping the Allen wrench and moving chairs around. Even worse, there was a party going on in another unit a floor or two above us until 5am. Nonstop noise of music and people talking and laughing. We also heard people running around and hanging out in the patio area below, even though we were on the 8th floor. The sign in the suite says quiet hours are from 10pm-7am, but clearly it is not enforced. It was pretty terrible and ruined our morning plans that Easter Sunday because we all felt like zombies from lack of sleep.
This was my 2nd time here...just for a change in scenery and relaxation. The property is always clean and smells so good! The staff is amazing! They're professional, accommodating and kind. If you need anything, they don't mind assisting and if they do, I'd never know!
I love coming here, whether for work or pleasure. They have just about everything you need. I'd highly advise Instacart/Door Dash for snacks/beverages. The pantry is convenient, but PRICEY.
Check in took a little longer because it was busy and only one person could help while the other person was having tech issues the other person in the back wasn’t able to assist. The coffee machine was not working. And there wasn’t an additional blanket in the closet like it usually is.
I was able to take a hot spiritual bath in the bath tub. It was clean and newish. I enjoyed the fitness center. I enjoyed the convenience of grub hub. The large window and lighting in the room was nice. The space was modern and comfortable. It didn't feel like you were staying in a hotel room, which I liked.
A great experience, the front desk staff were very friendly, and the room was comfortable.

The space in the hotel was great, spacious 2 bedroom apartment, but another room was being very noisy late at night and we had a terrible night sleep, and they didn’t deal with it.
NKia West is the best! Every time I stay here she’s always friendly and upbeat! Love her! My room is always nice and clean and you can’t beat the location!
Nkia West is always so friendly and helpful! Love her! All of your staff is friendly and helpful! My room is always nice and clean. This is my preferred place to stay!
My children and I enjoyed the stay and the view. Only complaint was that there were no TVs in the bedrooms and WiFi was a bit slow. Staff was pleasant .
