"Everything was smooth and fast I was able to get my room earlier than my checking time. "

5/5 Excellent

"I liked that the room was large, updated and clean. The staff was always courteous and they helped resolve an issue with our TV. Although it took over 24 hours to fix the issue, they kept us informed and offered us a better room if they were unable to resp;ve it. I was happy they were able to fix the issue since I really like the room we had. The only downfall is that the AC was very loud. Only used it for the first night and after that we just kept the window open, which worked out great. "
