Our room was great and the staff super helpful. Only issue was that one of the elevators was not working so made getting to a high floor room a challenge. The staff directed us to a service elevator which definitely helped ease congestion.

The staff was polite. The hotel itself was okay, it definitely an older hotel that needs to be renovated. The room was spacious enough. Its location is convenient, but you’re next to the freeway and airport so it’s noisy.

We stayed here because of the great reviews and they still exceeded our expectations. Every member of staff was 10 out of 10! Great attitudes, friendly, super helpful, and the rooms were very nice, clean and comfortable. Location was just close enough to uber everywhere within a few mins but not too close. The property felt safe and quiet and awesome views. I don’t even want to try staying anywhere but the Dextro! Thank you for the great experience! We will definitely be back!
