LAUREN C.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We liked the size and comfort of the room but we had some issues. Our King suite had two televisions but neither worked. We ended up having to move rooms after we had unpacked, which was a hassle, and into a noisy part of the hotel with a ton of activity. It was not ideal and I don’t know if we would stay here again. The front desk attendant in the morning was much more helpful, and we certainly wish he’d been on duty the night before.

Staff was really helpful, especially when we left an electronic item after checkout. They walked us up to the room, and that was really great. The room itself was not bad, just sparse. Not enough pillows originally, but we were able to order some more. Again, staff delivered in a timely manner. Breakfast was pretty good.
