Overall very good experience. Room was clean and very spacious. Finishes and furniture were a bit worn. Housekeeping staff was great. Elevators were smooth and never crowded like other hotelsin the vicinity. $40/night resort fee charged on site that I was not expecting. It was above and beyond total expedia cost.

Don’t stay here. The room was terrifying — both locks on the door did not work, the door was dented that you can see the hallway and into the room. And the walls were so badly painted it was terrible. The room overall was not at ALLL how it was pictured. Don’t stay here. I did not even get a refund because THEY WILL NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. Expedia cannot even get ahold of them. Don’t stay here. Save your money. I’d give it 0 stars if it let me.
This is what the wall looked like.

Awful stay at the hotel. Another guest claimed they felt catfished by the photos. Issue: Had to change rooms…and for my safety, I had to decide if I wanted to change rooms again or check out early. I decided to check out early. Room 1 - wall was unfinished with pipes exposed next to AC, bed was falling off the frame, no curtain on window for privacy and furniture was in disrepair. After debating for 20 mins I went to the front desk with the situation. They placed me in a new room. Room 2 - This room was “finished” per the front desk. I was exhausted so I retired and went to bed. The next day in the elevator, I was cornered by another guest, which is obviously not the fault of the hotel. However, when I got back to my room, I realized that the dead bolt on my door did not lock properly nor was there a door latch to keep my door from opening. I then realized that there was a giant gap under the door at about half an inch. Which would definitely allow someone to stick a coat hanger under the door and open the handle of my door easily. I decided to pack my things and head to the front desk to check out early. At the front desk, I told them the situation and how I felt unsafe and it took me three times explaining to a female front desk agent about the safety concerns until they understood what I was conveying.
