The room was dirty, staff was no help when we tried to check out early, and refused to refund us the second night, even though we checked out before check out time the day before. Orbitz even called them to ask for a waiver, and the hotel manager said no

Decent hotel, but could use an update. The bed was mediocre at best. The staff, however, was very polite. I was very bothered by paying $35 per night to park in the adjacent garage - especially when I discovered the daily max is $32 to pay directly.

I didn't stay there for shopping so I can't comment on that. It was a nice hotel, spacious and modern with friendly and very helpful staff. The breakfast had only one option, which was a full cooked breakfast, which I didn't want and which was expensive. They should have smaller breakfast options, such as just a juice and a coffee and a bowl of cereal, which is all I wanted. The area is very convenient for being picked up and dropped off. I was not driving so I didn't have to pay parking, which also seemed expensive but then I'm a traveller from abroad. Perhaps that's the reasonable rate for that area.

The pool was nice. Parking on the premises I did not like for $45.00. No breakfast included. Roller shade in room needs to be replaced. Shower faucet needed upgrading. HARD TO FIND HOTEL FROM THE GROUND, NO SIGNAGE, AND NAVIGATION PROGRAMS ARE NOT SURE WHERE THE FRONT OF THE LOBBY IS. Otherwise, It was not bad.
