I had a serious issue with check-in. Was given room 311 and the key was not programed. I had to returned to the desk to be programed. Then, after 2 hours later another couple entered my room stating it was their room. I called the front desk and the receptionist stated it was an error and i will be given points. Finally, went to dinner and when i returned the room key did not work and i had to returned to the desk. The same receptionist programed the keys but, did not even apologized for the inconvenience. All happened 11/21/25 between 3pm and 6pm.

Upon entering the hotel lobby I noticed how clean and bright it was. Checking in was quick and easy and the desk clerk was very polite. All of the hotel amenities was close by each other making it easy to use. Getting to our room was easy and our room was great. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast the following morning and it was delicious. I would definitely stay here again.
