Exceptional
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
One thing unique is that there is no carpet in the rooms and the air conditioner is actually quiet. I don’t think I like how the bathroom door has frosted glass instead of a solid door.
I like the nightlights you can turn on by your headboard.
Booking was canceled without me knowing. Showed up to hotel and was told my room was canceled because me card did not work, which i immediately updated on the Expedia website and they only reached out one time and didn’t not leave voicemail to return phone call. I work in a doctors office and can’t always answer my phone. I was told they tried to reach out multiple times but I only had one missed call and when I asked why no message was left so I knew who was calling I was told they did not have to leave a voicemail which I thought was ridiculous given how nice I expected the hotel to be. I was very unhappy given I am pregnant and did not have a place to stay when I arrived for my stay.
As of right now my experience has been pretty bad. Trying to contact anyone at the hotel to work out issues they seem to be having is almost impossible. Waiting for resolution and planning on updating review based on response.
I was pleasantly surprised how nice the hotel was! The only drawback was that they put us on the first floor near an exit door that was very busy. The door slammed loudly constantly starting very early in the morning. Guest rooms should not be near exits like this.
This is an amazing Hotel with a great pool, and is close to everything downtown; however i paid for the breakfast through Hotels.com. I never recieved hotel vouchers, so i was charged twice. I was told by two different hotel employees that they would credit my CC. This never happened. They also have limited wait staff. There were patrons walking out waiting on breakfast that needed to get to graduation ceremonies, and other appointments... so bring muffins !!!!!
