Housekeeping was the worst I have ever experienced! They did not replace toilet paper and there was none left! They did not replace towels, washcloths coffee pods, packets for the sugar and creamer. They did not make the beds, remove trash and if they did not do all of this I seriously doubt they cleaned anything. The only thing they did do was remove the wet towels from the floor. However the one lady at the front desk and sorry I cannot remember her name was just excellent. She was more than accommodating and friendly. Very engaging with her customers and would go above and beyond to get you what you needed.

Made sure to get room with mini fridge but it wasn’t working. Made sure breakfast was included but the pancake maker wasn’t working. Made sure on site pool for kids but limited open hours ruled that out.

Stayed there this past the weekend. Visiting family in the area for the first time. Can’t say enough about the staff. Amazing service! Courteous, attentive, ridiculously friendly, just an over the top team in general. The only blemish of our stay was an overnight spree of car break-ins in which we fell victims to. 8 total car broken into Sunday morning. Just wish the hotel could do more to prevent/detract these things from happening. Provide a bit more assurance to paying customers in terms safety, and their well being while being guests at their establishment. I understand crime happens everywhere, but hotel chains like these should take minor steps to deter/prevent things like this from happening. Maybe increasing security a bit. It’s frustrating. Hard to get a good nights sleep after something like this. Specially when you are traveling with your most precious asset, your family, and your 10 year old is now scared to stay at such a place. Once again I can’t say enough about the staff, and the hotel in general, just hope steps are taken to prevent things like this from happening in the future.
