Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Room was clean. Staff was mostly ok. It took forever to get hot water for a shower. Really wish coffee was available before the times listed. It doesn’t really take much effort or money to provide coffee longer than 4 hours. I’ve stayed at places where coffee was available 24/7 and they were more reasonable priced than this location. Parking was ok.
Man the rooms were so clean. The first thing I did was check the filter because it asthmatic and I couldn’t believe my eyes spotless. I gave it 4 stars because elevators were not working properly on this day
Room was out of shampoo and conditioner, room had some trash, toys, and open candy left from previous occupants. Considering the price, I was disappointed. Staff was super friendly at check in, we requested some extra towels and they were brought to us in a timely manner.
