Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was decent and appeared to be clean. But then we found a used, dirty facecloth still draped over the shower curtain/rod that appeared to have someone's pubic hairs on it. Not favourable at all and I would highly recommend that cleaning staff are more diligent with cleaning the rooms after every guests' stay!

Disliked: Amenities
We have stayed there multiple times. Good room as always. The WiFi was horrible. It stopped working around 11. I could not connect despite restarting my ipad. And let me be grumpy for a minute. They changed the coffee to a single serve, fresh grind coffee station. I hate the coffee taste. I know it’s designed for coffee snobs, but it takes too much time to just get a cup of coffee. Grumpy customer rant over.

A Great Stay

I had an excellent experience from my check in to check out. I have to say that first impressions are lasting and I would like to commend Jordan Shapiro for his warmth and kindness, as he could see I was a weary traveler with a bad back and knee. He offered to help me with my luggage and even offered to put me on lower floor to make easier to move around. A very nice employee and asset to your company. I have to say that all employees at this location were great. Friendly and helpful. I had a great stay and have recommended you to all friends and family to stay at your location if the need arises. Thank you.
