(Would have been 5 stars if not for management) We stayed at this hotel for an extended period while relocating abruptly from Arizona due to a job transfer and personal hardships. The hotel itself was great — clean, quiet, comfortable rooms, good breakfast, friendly front desk staff, 24/7 washer and dryer access, plus a jacuzzi and gym. It truly felt like a safe place for my family during a very stressful transition, and for that I’m thankful. Unfortunately, the general manager completely changed the experience. Rather than speaking directly to me — the registered guest and paying customer — she chose to approach and question my underage daughter about a room issue that wasn’t even our fault. What makes this worse is that she knew I was on my way downstairs at that exact moment to resolve it myself. My daughter was already emotionally overwhelmed due to our situation, and being confronted by management made her extremely uncomfortable. I didn’t even learn about it until afterward, when my daughter told me what happened. When I calmly returned to ask the general manager why she thought it was appropriate to question a minor instead of addressing the adult on the reservation, she couldn’t give a clear or reasonable answer. We were respectful, quiet, paid guests who followed policies, treated staff kindly, and kept to ourselves. There was absolutely no justification for involving a child or handling the situation in such an unprofessional and intrusive way. A general mana

The breakfast and some of the staff was great. The property itself smells like vomit and a hospital. The rooms are decently comfortable but the noises around are pretty loud. You can hear the doors nearby slam, toilets flushing, and the neighors tv and talking through the walls.

My partner and I loved the room it was very clean, good pillows, and a lot of storage space. It also came with a microwave and mini fridge which was much appreciated. IHG hotels have become a reliable hotel for us. Especially because of the complimentary breakfast. It makes our stay so much more enjoyable and elevates a lot of stress in the morning allowing us to enjoy our vacation more.
