We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It’s in a nice, quiet location near the Expo Center and still reasonably close to downtown, which made it very convenient for our trip. The room was exceptionally clean, and we especially appreciated the hardwood floors instead of carpet—it felt much more hygienic and well maintained. The shower was also very clean, and overall the room felt fresh and comfortable. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and the room temperature was easy to control and stayed comfortable throughout our stay. We also enjoyed the continental breakfast. The coffee in the morning was great, and we had breakfast there one day—it was a typical continental setup, but with a nice variety and everything was fresh and good. The staff were very kind, helpful, and courteous. Parking was easy and convenient, with close access to the building and our room on the second floor. We also felt the property was secure, which we appreciated. The only downside was the bathroom lighting system, which is sensor-activated. While it works well during the day, at night the lights turn on very brightly and can be disruptive if you need to use the restroom. Aside from that, everything else was excellent and we would absolutely stay here again.

The hotel was partially under construction and significantly overbooked. Initially we were told our room wasn't ready by check-in time because there was a shortage of cleaning staff turning over the rooms. So, we went to dinner and walked around until 9pm to give ample time. At that point, called in to check if they were ready and they told us there were no rooms, period, because the hotel was overbooked. They relocated us to their sister property, but that took hours to get everybody a room. Sister property had no working TV. Had to lug our luggage around back and forth. Painful experience.

There was active construction and the rooms across from mine and underneath me. Construction was going on since eight in the morning with door, slamming and equipment noise. Also, there was no hot water to shower with. The water was lukewarm and felt cold to the body. Front desk staff are interactive with was extremely nice and helpful. I was told they would fix the issue while I was out of the room for the day. When I return, there was no change in the water temperature. I had to turn on the heater in the room extremely high, so that my daughter and son did not feel too cold coming out of the shower. The room itself was clean.

When we arrived, they said no rooms were clean so we couldn’t check in. It was 2 hours later (5:30pm) before the room was ready. The lobby was full of people waiting for rooms. The room was clean and attractive, but poorly planned. - No nightstand on one side of the bed, so no way to have my phone (I.e., my clock and alarm) at my bedside. - No shelf for towels in the bathroom; the clean towels are stacked on the toilet. - No hooks in bathroom to hang towels after use - the bathroom light is on a timer or motion sensor - turned off in the middle of my shower - Wood floors rather than carpet make the room cold and echoey The breakfast was good and staff were nice.
