Location was perfect! The staff was premier. With perfect location comes so pretty loud freeways nearby. Beware of the parking as it is pretty expensive, it adds up quick if you are staying more than 2 nights. If the front spots are full its a pain to park down innthe garage. The parking is also not part of the hotel so its a 3rd party company, this is not ideal.

Dirtiest Place to Stay

I had booked a 2 night stay and requested to not be by the elevator due to past experiences of loud people at late hours waiting for the elevator and keeping me awake. Upon arrival directly inside the entrance door it smelled like urine. After receiving my room key, I was put in a room directly across from the elevator. I called down to ask for a different room but they said they are completely booked and have no other rooms. I asked if I could cancel my room and they could only cancel one night without having to charge me for the entire booking. I then noticed the shower had broken tiles and layers of soap scum on the floor. I am assuming the tiles were broken from wear and tear due to it being an accessible shower; in which I did not need. They said they would have it cleaned as I was headed out but when I returned it was never cleaned, only a towel thrown over the broken tile and soap scum. That night there was not stop crowding outside the elevators from 11pm until 4:30am. I was so relieved to check out the next morning. This used to be the Four Points but now as the Dextero it has plummeted in all levels and do not recommend this establishment no matter how good the price may be. Spend a little extra and secure your comfort and peace knowing your stay is in a clean and hospitable establishment by choosing someone other than here.

Showers in my room on the 16th floor needed to be unclogged. Also, water pressure was low. No charging points near the bed. Breakfast was rather small for 20 USD. Not a bad hotel otherwise.
