The beda and were adequately comfortable. The hair drier stopped working after a minute, as did the light for the sink area. The bathroom light consistently flickered.
I usually love the hotel. Been staying at least once a month since April. Staff is excellent, room/bed comfortable, and quiet even withthe airport right there. However last night, wasn't my best experience. Last night after a long day and night, i get there and the room i reserved days in advance wasn't available. He said he was giving me an upgrade was horrible. I went from a King Size bed to a double bad. I am a big girl that is why i get the bigger bed. I also get the handicap accessible because i have a bad knew and the seat in the shower helps.So was disappointed i couldn't shower before laying down. Also,didn't sleep well because of a barking dog. But no complaints about any of other stays. I will continue to stay here because one bad night happens.
Rude staff. Understaffed. My key card wasn’t activated and it took over 15 minutes for me to get it resolved because there was no one at the front desk. The front counter attendant was very unprofessional and rude. Room had dead bugs and smelled like cigarettes. Opened dresser drawer and the front came off. This was a terrible experience. On top of that, our neighbors were super loud the entire night and barely got any rest at all. 0/10 experience. Don’t book here.
Easy access to your room with food options nearby.

King rooms are really small especially the bathrooms no breakfast no mini fridge or microwaves but thankfully I didn't need any of that and the elevator sounded like it didn't want to run anymore but for the price you can't beat it I would definitely stay here again if Im in the area
