The only thing missing were diet soda options at the Cafe as well as in the vending machines, But I noticed it throughout the entire city, so it may just be the market norms in the area. Some Diet Mountain Dew would have been great during our stay though.

I called and spoke to a staff member and explained that we were staying for our daughter’s stay at the children’s hospital for an important procedure and explained that an early check in would be extremely helpful for us. They said to call back the day of our stay so I did and the woman laughed over the phone at me saying it was too early and they were booked so nothing guaranteed. So rude and the worst customer service. Anything but hospitable. The doors were SO loud opening and closing all night sounding like they were in our room. The beds were uncomfortable and floors not clean. I got zero sleep. Would not recommend. Only the man at the desk was nice at check in.

$35 for breakfast was ridiculous. Also, ridiculous was the area for a tip on the breakfast bill that was self-serve buffet style. A tip is paid for service, and if I’m serving myself, adding that on top of an already ridiculous price is patently stupid.

Great property. Amazing staff, so kind and helpful. Not sure about parking. Decently located. Lots of public transportation around. I felt safe. The views and pool are the selling point. A touch outdated like ceilings carpets and light switches and bathroom doors. Main areas are updated though. Great value for the price.
