Mr

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Terrible property. Stay away! All rooms circle the pool, and have no sound proofing. Wow it’s loud! The guy on the desk wouldn’t let me check out. He spoke to me and an Expedia representative in a way I wouldn’t even speak to an animal. How he is employed I have no idea! Manager did try to apologies and did allow me to check out the next day but this should never be allowed to happen in the first place. Family members recommended this place after staying in it once before, but after they heard the way he spoke to me they said they would also never return. There is a much better hotel at same price just down the road. Homewood Suites. Would highly recommend there, especially as it’s the same price!

Would have been a 4 but at 7:30 we had a house cleaner knock then walk in within seconds, then another 2 times before we checked out, could have been undressed. Check out is 11 unless told that we checked out there should have been no reason to enter our room, could have been in shower or eating. And floor wasnt 100% clean found food from previous guests on floor

The rooms are comfortable to Queens and a couch that turns into a bed, but there’s a pocket door that you can close in between so it almost makes it like it’s two bedrooms, which is very nice when you have people that are sleeping in one part of the area

Front desk is the best

Check in was great and front desk was always friendly and helpful. Rooms need help though. First room was just unacceptable in every way, second was better but a/c not efficient nor particularly useful.

Our stay here was fine after check-in. The hotel was nice and no problems for what we needed; breakfast was also nice and the staff there was friendly. My only issue was that the individual that handled checkout treated me very rudely. I waited in the lobby for ten minutes with nobody at the desk. I finally started calling around and looking to see if someone was near. When he finally came he did not rush or apologize, but told me shortly to just wait as he filled up his coffee cup in the lobby added creamer and took his time to stir. After that he went and got some water all the while still leaving me awkwardly at the counter waiting. When he finally came he was short and rude as if I had inconvenienced him. This was the only problem, but very rude service when we were tired from our trip nonetheless.

Arrived at 2pm which room not yet ready, return at 3:15pm still not ready. Finally checked it at 3:30pm and the room carpet is some what lifted up uneven and sticky and wet. The shower tub water won’t go down, and at 4:30pm some lady used the key card and opened my door, was shocked they actually had someone else came in same room… then call front desk, they apologized but then they deactivated both of my keys without telling me. Had to go back down and re-program my key cards. There are so kind of stains on curtain, also all over the carpet. Never will stay at BW again.

The afternoon staff girl was so nice ! Explained everything, proved a room close to elevators and parking. The breakfast was so fantastic. The food was hot and there were different options each morning along with the normal staples. Staff was constantly cleaning the hotel, pool area , emptying trash cans and keeping everything well stocked . Location was quiet ! Room was company spacious!!
