I made the reservation in the afternoon and arrived shortly after sunset. When I arrived, I was informed that they "had a problem" and my room wasn't available. They put me up at the extended stay next door. I shopped the room from their website and found it could be booked, so I felt taken advantage of.

Breakfast good, perfect location/price for my needs. I have stayed at this property many times. Very low water pressure in shower- made it difficult to bathe

I requested a shower bench or chair during booking on booking.com. When I booked it they also asked the expected time of arrival. I stated 3-4:00 pm. I received notification that my special request would be granted at no additional charge. The front desk did not have any information regarding my request for the shower chair. After a few tense moments, Luckily, Jaelyn was kind enough to find one from housekeeping. He was also kind enough to bring it to our room and help us get inside the room. I had my hands full pushing my husband's wheelchair and rolling the luggage. Jaelyn was very kind and accommodating. We stayed on a week day on the bottom floor. We did not hear any outside noise which was a bonus. The rooms and exterior were in good repair. Room was very clean.

A/A no enfriaba muy bien pero era aceptable. La habitación en general estaba muy limpia ( y soy muy exigente en ese aspecto) las camas son cómodas pero muy pequeñas ( angostas) por lo que para dos personas está un poco incómoda pero es pasable. Lo que menos me gustó fue la atención del recepcionista, tenía una cara de no muy buenos amigos, y hablaba como hacia adentro y no se le entendía, había que sacarle las palabras y acercarse para escucharle. Fue muy descortés la verdad.

The location was convenient, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and inviting. Close to World We truly enjoyed our experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fortunately nothing was taken that we know of from the room. The water pressure is almost un usable. The scent in the lobby is soooo bad smelling.

I love walking into a hotel room and just knowing it is crisp and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable, room was nice and cool. The only 2 things negative I can say was the water pressure for the sink itself to wash hands, brush teeth etc. But the water pressure in the shower was wonderful. The other negative was the PARKING. We stayed on a saturday night and when we arrived at 10pm there was plenty of space. We ended up leaving to grab food around 1230am and by time we got back there was not one single spot available at our hotel nor the one sister property next door.

We were changing clothes and some guy opens the door and sees both of us in the nude. He said sorry that he was given the key downstairs and would go see what happened. The hotel guy called the room and told us he was sorry for that. Then the phone continued to ring ( like there was a message) for the next 30 minutes. I checked and there was no message. At some point in the middle of the night, got up to use the restroom and there was a roach on the ceiling. It was just one mess after another. Still waiting to see if the hotel charges from the "security deposit" drop of my credit card. I will not be back. I will be tring the hotels right next door.

Pool is indoors on the pictures it shows to be outdoors and it was out of service. Elevators were like a sauna but other than that it was a nice hotel. Breakfast doesn't start until 7am on the weekends.

The parking was fine. The breakfast was ok. At the juice machine, two of the juice options were out and a third tasted watered down. The sausage was not in a pan, it was dumped onto the warming elements. I mentioned it to the server and he stated…that is how they always do it.

The property had a strong scent that was a little over -bearing. I had to get my door key re-keyed 4 times. When it happened to my husband, I tried to add him to my account to make sure he could get a key and the front desk person told me that wasn't necessary that he could just ask for a new key for that room number. I felt that was not a very secure way to hand out keys to people.

The overall cleanliness of the hotel wasn't the greatest. Mold on the windows of the pool room. The water pressure in the shower was so bad one side of your body was dry by the time you were done rinsing the other. The last day of our stay we found a cockroach in our room.

Clean room, upin arrival was advised my room was not available as they overbooked so at 11pm we had no hotel, no additional funds as a refund to hotels app would have taken days. Management problem solved and magically found a room. Next morning meats at breakfast were out, pancake mix was out. It was a madhouse. Bed was comfortable. Parking was challenging.

Good experience overall and no issues.

Fine. Would stay again. Average hotel. Walking distance to food and drink with planning. It’s surrounded by other hotels and roads, but I still managed to find places that were walkable. Nothing spectacular about this hotel, but the gentleman working the breakfast area kept the place well stocked, neat and clean.

03/02/2026: Breakfast it self wasn’t bad but 2 out of the 3 mornings we stayed, there were ants crawling on the counter. We also did not get the room we booked (2 queens). We were given a king with a pullout couch instead. Was not the ideal situation for what we needed.
