Great but mixed

Front desk person when we arrived late in the evening was excellent-welcoming and both personal and professional. Room was clean, beds were comfortable, etc. Great start! The downside? People on our floor were slamming doors until well after midnight and before 6am—really interrupted a restful stay. Also, the next day when I talked to the front desk about club member things I could hardly understand him-his accent was so thick.

I liked the convenience of the property as it is near to my family's home and also shopping and dining. They also served a very adequate breakfast each morning. The only thing I did not care for was that they did not service our room daily. They did not make the beds, clean the bathroom or change out the used towels. Also, the grade of the toilet paper was extremely flimsy and cheap.

altho the property was under renovation we were never disturbed by construction noise or dirt. The elevator was not working, and staff carried our bags upstairs. Our room was renovated and very clean, with comfortable beds and nice shower. The breakfast selection was very good, and the eating area was clean and pleasant.
