Well rested over 2 night stay

Nice rooms, good ac in 207. Not so good door latch, have to pull hard to fit. Phone cord was missing also. Lee checked us in and was pleasant and helpful. Trevon who checked us out tried looking for a spare hair dryer for my wife as there were none. Props to him. Breakfast was decent with links bacon eggs and waffles. Good strong coffee also. Fitness room was nice with 4-5 pieces. Did not visit pool area although i was told the hot tub was open but not heating.

Okayish… with lots of cons.

1st room I got had a blackout blind ripped out/missing. I was offered a different room. 2nd room the bathroom fan was super loud and it took five minutes for the sink light to fully brighten. I love pooping in the dark since there’s no light near the toilet. The ac/heat register fan clicked very loudly that I had to wear earplugs to sleep. One of the lights on the wall had a broken cfl light in it. The main door to the hallway, you had to pull really hard to get the door handle mechanism to function to open the door, really needs replaced. And lastly for the cons… the stupid azz smoke detector had flashing green led lights that would light up the room including right into your eyes if you were laying towards it. Overall the room was quiet and the bed was firm but comfy to sleep. As for the property, eh a door on the north side that should be a keyed lock isn’t locking, free to move in and out. The outdoor lounge area is right next to the loud ac fans, one of the two elevators was out of service, the pool was out of service (saw another review that said it was closed over 6 months ago) Also saw on the 1st floor at the west side stairs that that there was an emergency door that was left open and there was a sign saying “keep closed for safety of patrons” Honestly, I won’t come back to stay.. staff was nice and courteous… mgmt and owners of the place don’t care because things ain’t fixed

Sink was clogged and took 20 mins to drain, the AC is preset so no matter what temp you set it on, it’s always going to run at what ever temp they have it set on, be prepared to put a 100.00 incidentals on your card, was woke up at 8:30am by room service to clean my room even though check out wasn’t until 11am. It was priced well, and it was clean. I will give it that.

The room for the most part was clean. The chair they privide in the room was very stained/dirty. Definitely needs to be replaced. The provided blow had broken pieces that hasn't been fixed because they don't wipe it down when cleaning. The blow dryers handle was extremely sticky with residue of some sort. Other than that the bed was clean and comfy, nice tv, clean fridge and microwave. The staff I dealt with were polite and nice
