8.6/10 Excellent! (713 reviews)

The property is very well maintained. The room was very clean and comfortable.The rooms are quite cozy, so if you don't like tight spaces do not stay here. The parking ($10) is horrible, I'm glad we were in our Honda Civic and not our SUV. There are limited spaces and slots are very small. The air-conditioner was super loud not sure if ours was having issues or if it's normal for all the units. We arrived at 240 pm and we were told that we had to wait until 255 to check in or pay for a early check in which is $40, WHAT? We've never paid a early check in fee, we have paid a late check out fee which makes more sense. So we waited the 15 minutes in the car. The parking lot at this time had 3 cars, one of which was ours. All things being said, we would stay here again for a quick 1 night stay.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. First, it was very hard to find the location because there is construction outside. When I finally found the place, there was one person at the desk who was extremely rude and condescending. She made fun of the way I spoke (mimicked me). I was in shock. I had already prepaid for the hotel so I didn't know what to do. I figured I would let it go since it's one night. I asked about parking - she said can't give me parking until I checked in. So I checked in and then after I paid for parking - she said she didn't have anymore key cards to the parking garage. She told me that every time I would need to go in or out of the garage I would need to come into the hotel and tell them and they would meet me at the garage (!) I asked politely how does this work if there's only one person at the desk. and where do I park to call you to help me with the garage (since there's no parking - only construction - outside the hotel). That set her off in an angry tirade. I was afraid for my safety at this hotel with this person in charge. I called my friend that I was meeting - she came over a few minutes later and I told her what happened. We checked the room - which had an intense chemical odor - can't breath. She refused to let me talk to a manager and refused to refund. It was such a twilight zone experience. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HORRID PLACE.

Upon arriving on Wednesday evening, I waited approximately three hours to check in and was not able to access my room until around 8:00 PM. After an already exhausting day preparing for surgery, this was incredibly frustrating and unacceptable. When I finally entered my room, I immediately noticed it smelled strongly of smoke. Even more concerning, there were used contact lenses on the floor, making it obvious that the room had not been properly cleaned or inspected before being assigned to a guest. This was especially alarming considering I was about to recover from surgery in what should have been a sanitary environment. Because of the condition of the room, I had to be moved to another room. Unfortunately, that room was located near the pool area where there was extremely loud music for much of my stay. I specifically booked this hotel to recover from surgery, yet I spent my recovery listening to high-volume music while trying to rest. I called the front desk multiple times regarding the noise, but the issue was never adequately resolved.

Our stay was okay. The entire check-in process was crazy. The amount of time we had to verify ourselves was a little much. There are no amenities like laundry detergent, dish soap or anything to wash dishes with. We each had one body towel for the entire stay, extra towels would have been so nice. There are also zero extra blankets. It was cold and the bedding was thin. We could have used a throw blanket or extra blankets to cover up with. We froze at night. Front shades were broken so we couldn’t close them. That was annoying as the windows are huge and it felt like the entire neighborhood was watching us. Overall house was clean and as pictured.
