The staff was very friendly. However, we had to move rooms because the second night our room had no hot water. They moved us to a different room and we had not water but it was a handicap accessible room and the bathtub faucet did not do anything but the shower head and therefore, I couldn’t give my young child a bath.

Yes the hotel and room was very clean. The front desk was very helpful with the parking situation in the area. I'm glad the breakfast started and ended at a later time and check out was also at a later time than most hotels. Everything was very convenient and I got a decent price for the location. Definitely will be booking again in the near future.

Very decent hotel for price. Rooms were clean and comfy and the r breakfast was good. Thr pool and lounge areas were nice. My only complaints were the parking was not very transparent . It was expensive and a real pain because every time you left you had to pay with your phone before you could leave . It was annoying. Also the business center wasn’t working at all. The internet browser wasn’t updated so you couldn’t use internet and tr printer was having issues which front desk clerk tried to fix but couldn’t . This is a management issue and they should have been responsible for that. I couldn’t print off my medication list for my doctor appointment I traveled down for as a result so it was very inconvenient and took up most of my morning unnecessarily.
