Great hotel, great value
This hotel had everything we needed and was an incredibly good value. Easy parking. Big room with comfortable beds and linens. Fridge and microwave, good-working bathroom, comfortable desk, good Wi-fi and television -- everything. Good coffee and newspaper in the morning. Management is incredibly helpful and nice. Super little gym.

Room was clean. Ate dinner at the “restaurant”, would not recommend. Had a Walgreens order delivered, called hotel to confirm it was delivered and somewhere between them confirming it was there and going to pick it up it disappeared never to be found. They would not take responsibility for it or compensate the money. An average stay at best.

The overall facility is nice, clean and modern. We did take out pizza one night and it was great to have the area downstairs to eat and also get a glass of wine from the bar. Cesar was there most nights and he was very nice and helpful with anything we needed.

Front desk is rude
Booked two rooms. The room they have is was on the backside of the elevators. So freaking ridiculous. All night the elevators clinking twice and then go up. Then clonking again and heading back down. Asked front desk and they did nothing to compensate us They should have told us and that room should not be the same price as the regular room. Total scam!! I brought it up very kindly with front desk and she was SO rude. Asian girl with glasses. I wasn’t asking for a free room, but suggesting it should NOT be the same as a regular price room. I got two rooms for one night and apparently they told me I wanted a handicap accessible room for hearing impaired. That was for my 90 year old father and they put him in the room at the farrrrr and if first floor. Last room next to the pool. So freaking ridiculous.
