I had high hopes for this place. The pictures make it look a little nicer than it is. Our room had a missing towel bar which was located in the closet. And there was a barn door for the bathroom that was not set up properly, so it was completely stuck and unable to open and close easily. The comforter which was white had a black stain on it. The young woman at the front desk seemed more interested in her phone & if she wasn’t behind the counter you wouldn’t know she worked there since she was dressed super casually with no visible identification. I wouldn’t stay there again.
Varias veces me había quedado en el hotel y no había tenido ningún tipo de problema, pero ayer tuve una experiencia terrible me entregaron una habitación que no había sido limpiada no tenía papel de baño, no tenía vasos ni bolsas no tenía toallas. La verdad fue muy lamentable. Mi experiencia me pareció muy extraño, porque como digo ya me había quedado otras veces anteriores, pero esta vez no sé qué pasó
For a person reservation, room only provi with one set of towels and the tile paper roll was nearly gone, thank God it was just for one day. Other than that, i would stay there again, I will be more aware of supplies

Disliked: Cleanliness
Bathroom was dirty, hairs everywhere, only almost finished toilet paper roll, called front desk to ask for more they stated we needed to wait until next morning 8am. We arrived late at night so that was inconvenient for us.
Location is in a great area it sucks it was not clean. House keeping didn’t take out trash the following day so we had a pile of trash for the 2 days.

Liked: Staff & service
It was just ok, we couldn’t sleep due to a couple next room.
I would never go near a hotel hot tub so it being out of commission seemed like a bonus to me, since it was outside our window. Room and location was great and they were accommodating to our two large dogs. We would stay here again.
The staff was kind and very willing to work out anything we needed

The bed was very comfy. Only issue was the bed frame bars are longer than the bed. I kept hitting them with my feet when I got up every time. Needs to be fixed. Also 9 am is very early to be knocking on the door to ask if we need service. Probably should wait till 10am or even call.
