The only downside was the location of our room, which was on the 7th floor, just above and facing the pool. The pool area lights stayed on and were very bright at night, so we had to cover the windows before sleeping, which wasn’t ideal. We also felt that our privacy was somewhat limited. Aside from that, everything else was satisfactory.

I called and spoke to a staff member and explained that we were staying for our daughter’s stay at the children’s hospital for an important procedure and explained that an early check in would be extremely helpful for us. They said to call back the day of our stay so I did and the woman laughed over the phone at me saying it was too early and they were booked so nothing guaranteed. So rude and the worst customer service. Anything but hospitable. The doors were SO loud opening and closing all night sounding like they were in our room. The beds were uncomfortable and floors not clean. I got zero sleep. Would not recommend. Only the man at the desk was nice at check in.

I cannot emphasize enough the customer service and hospitality of this staff. I watched managers step in with rushes and friendly check-ins with guests if they appeared to be lost or looking for something. Found the rooms were clean and AC worked amazing! Parking is on-site and enclosed, so felt very safe with my car. Overall great stay for quick work trip
