Love love love!

This hotel BLEW us away! The suite long stay room was amazing! The full kitchen, closet space, sitting/hangout area, lots of space in the bathroom with plenty of plug in options and a good hair dryer etc! Quality of shampoo etc was great too! Super comfy bed with a swing out tv that easily moved towards the couch area. So many options around for dinning & shopping. Walking paths were great, we even walked to the stadium for our concert which was 10/10 and felt completely safe late night. Service was amazing too, friendly and perfectly staffed. Free breakfast was really good too! I highly recommend staying here, whether it be an overnight stay or longer term. Pictures online are 100% accurate!

The swimming pool was unusable. I’ve never seen a more unhealthy condition. It obviously does not get vacuumed. The pool’s neglect seemed months in the making. Its walls were petri dishes not requiring a microscope; in short, disgusting. I couldn’t see the pool bottom and was aghast that I couldn’t when only the water was only 4 feet deep. There was some water movement from one return jet. Growth was not due to stagnation. I had no choice but to tell my family absolutely do not get in which isn’t my typical tone at all. That was disappointing because I chose the property online for its having a pool. It was our last night and the pool hours were until 10:00 p.m. Our window of time was brief, and a big disappointment since this stay was our last getaway before school starts. Also, the front loading clothes washer was unusable. Sludge was under the rubber seal, too much for myself to wipe out. Fortunately there also were two traditional washing machines that I could use. I liked the opportunity to repack clean clothes. Front desk are accommodating. The breakfast team are courteous. Housekeeping try very hard with their tasks. The team may not be staffed sufficiently which isn’t their fault. Facilities management are with whom I believe require course-correction. The breakfast is superb. Having a full refrigerator in the suite is very helpful for chilled water, restaurant leftovers, and DoorDash.
