"Our room was immaculate, the staff was friendly, and the amenities were very nice. The pool was super clean and even had a color changing light. The included breakfast was very nice and better than we expected. We'll definitely stay again if we pass through the area. Five stars all the way"
"One of the staffs members wouldn’t help she was busy on her phone at all times. She is had the worst attitude I’ve ever had at any hotel stays my family and I ever had"
"The staff were really helpful and knowledgeable. There was construction at every floor around the elevators, so we were first put in a room directly across from an elevator. When we walked in, the noise was deafening in the room so we turned right back around and they moved us to another room, on another floor. That room was hot and the floor was soaked from the AC unit running itself out so we had to go back down to be moved a third time. The staff were super apologetic, professional and kind....
"The TV did not work. I work a lot and rarely watch TV. We wanted to see the World Cup consolation match then, perhaps a movie. The carpet had multiple large stains, and the room had residual cannibus odors. The man at the desk tried to give us another room; that TV did not work either."
