Remote wouldn't work on the TV in my room, and I specifically booked this hotel for the EV charger in the parking lot which ended up not even working. When I asked staff about it they said they would call me after looking into it, which they never did.

Great location near 35.

Easy check in. Brought my small dog. Was placed in a room that was obviously a ‘dog’ room. The carpet was stained and ragged. Was next to the door leading to the parking lot and people were coming in and out all night. Luckily my dog doesn’t pay attention to that, but several other dogs were barking through the night. I’m sure it’s difficult for hotels to determine where to allow dogs, but rooms sub par and charging an additional $50 was disappointing.

If you’ve ever stayed at the location nearer the stadium & had a poor experience, do NOT let that stop you from visiting this one! While even this location’s staff members weren’t as visible as those at other hotels, they were very kind & helpful. The food at this Hotel Lotus was also fresher (with the exception of some chocolate milk which had gone bad before the expiry date, but that may be a delivery truck issue so who knows. I alerted staff & they had new cartons out the next morning w/even later expiry dates, & my kids confirmed they were fresh. It was reassuring to know they took the concern seriously & fixed it quickly.) Room was VERY clean & we loved the tall, oscillating fan as a bonus w/the A/C. This hotel may have an issue with humidity; dehumidifiers were running all along the first floor hallway (all were full when we saw them), & our swimsuits were very wet 36 hours after being hung over the shower head & curtain rod (not our usual experience after using a hotel pool), but we did not smell nor see a bit of mold or mildew to indicate an actual “problem”. Instead, it seems like they’re making an effort to stay ahead of it. The indoor pool was fun for the kids but cold (& too cold for me), & the jacuzzi was the temp we expected a pool to be. Chlorine a bit strong, too. Bummer but we still enjoyed it. Not quite a 5-star-worthy experience overall, but a solid 4! Would stay here again, but not at the other one we stayed at in June.
