8/10 Good
"Upon arrival we were shocked to see complete front entrance demolition/ remodeling! We honestly thought the place was closed and we were at the wrong location! After a few seconds, we notice temporary arrow signs leading us to a temporary entrance. Thank goodness. Staff greeting was professional and pleasant. No mention of the demo. We were promptly checked in and given our room #. Room was wonderful and no complaints other than location. First floor, right next to "new entrance" and double elevators. Due to very low sound proofing, the sounds were extremely noticeable. Not wanting to make a fuss, we chalked it up to we know not to get this room next time! However with that said I was forced to play a fan asmr video for at least 8hrs on my phone to drown out the noises. We did have an awesome stay, location was convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. Bathroom was huge, clean, great water pressure and extra towels were given with a smile. Staff was friendly and always when greeted said hello and smiled. We hope to plan another stay soon!"

"Arrived for check in & grabbed the keys without checking the room. Upon return (much later that evening/early morning hours) I entered the room to find it wasn’t what I booked. Didn’t have sofa bed as advertised, so I head to the front desk. The lady ignored me ringing the bell, ignored me calling the front desk phone & remained in the room with the camera footage. Eventually she emerged & gave me nothing but a hard time. I informed her there was no where for my children to sleep & showed her my booking. She continually said she couldn’t override to move my room. About 15 minutes later she magically gave me new keys to another room. Place is clean, well kept & local to food/gas, etc. This may have been a one off situation but it was not handled well."
