The customer service was lacking. We had significant difficulty getting responses from the front desk over the phone before our stay and while trying to get towels brought to our room after check-in. Otherwise, it was good.

Clean room and great water pressure... friendly staff although a bit overwhelmed with a large group checking in which was understandable. Could use some aesthetics/ ambiance. Coffee, albeit a small detail but important one needs overhaul. It was brown water. Maybe offer alternatives such as a variety of teas. Curb appeal could use work but overall very comfortable and clean rooms with friendly staff.

This place is ridiculously understaffed. I went through EIGHT keys to find one that actually worked. This, after the front desk person told me nothing was wrong with the one(s) I had. Bathroom in lobby had no toilet paper. Front desk person told me that the reason I didn't have internet was because my room was out of range. Awful

Conveniently situated with easy access. Rooms clean and in good condition. Staff friendly but all beverage machines were empty for the 4 days if our stay and their attitude was "nothing to do with us, they are maintained by another company".

It’s all about expectations

This hotel was the closest to a 4 day event I was attending. So I booked it without much hesitation. Later on I went back on the booking platform to peruse reviews and was alarmed to read about bedbugs, poor upkeep, towels problems and such. I’m please to say my room didn’t have bedbugs. But it also didn’t have bath towels and it took a good couple of days to get them despite bringing it up.Housekeeping only came once in 4 days but that frankly didn’t bother me. The keycard worked every day except for the last night. I brought lots of snacks to avoid using their restaurant for breakfast but it looks like at least one morning it was closed due to lack of staff. Bring an eye mask. The curtains are purely decorative and cannot be closed. There are no window shades so unless you’re an early morning person you really need the eye mask. The AC works well although it’s rather loud. Between that and the fridge, you’re better off using earplugs. All in all- if it’s a good deal or really close to where you need to be, it’s a solid option.

Try not to stay here! We only had one bath towel in our room, and next afternoon, after waiting for front desk person to come out, were told there were no more available as they were all in the wash! We finally took some from the pool area (although that was not suggested.They don’t give out extra blankets either. One of our keys never worked despite being swiped again. The room smelled like wet dog the whole time, but we were too tired when we arrived to switch. Shower drain was very bad, and faucet leaked a lot when turned on all the way. Only the handy man was responsive and friendly, but wasn’t able to help with towels.

Checked in?

The staff had trouble checking me in and then when i wanted to check out a day earlier than expected they said i was listed as a no show. Blamed it on their system and not check me out or give me a bill. I have tried calling them to make sure i have the correct billing for 2 nights and not three. No one ever returns my calls and it is extremely frustrating. I don't want to pay for 3 days. Please help.

It was just barely adequate. The lock on the door was loose and felt insecure. 3 days and no housekeeping service. Had to request towels & coffee at the counter. Even after ringing provided buzzer, no staff acknowledgment at 9 PM Sunday. No restaurant on Sundays. I do not recommend for a single female traveler. Hotel and parking area had an unsafe vibe. Nothing happened, but felt like it could. On the plus side: comfortable bed, good room size, room felt clean. Coffee pot, microwave, refrigerator.
