Disliked: Staff & service
Check in was at 4pm and didn’t check in until after 6 because rooms wasn’t finished I was ready to cancel my stay till they told me a room was available that supposed to been like the one I booked but it wasn’t & to see the toilet was really loose . very inconvenient and was over it at that point.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
still waiting on a response
Room was clean but it was not the room we booked, they didnt have the room we booked and said it was changed the day prior to our checking in. Noone has still called me back to make sure I wasnt charged for the king bedroom suite when i got a double bed!!
To begin we got a hotel room with no view of the outside there was a pillar blocking the window. To continue me and my family got some of the worst sleep imaginable due to the thermostat not going lower the 69 degrees and the ac wasn’t consistent and kept turning off. Another thing is the WiFi didn’t work and there was no connection even when connecting to the WiFi. The staff was not helpful at all there was a lady who said she would bring us a fan and never did and there were two lady’s who where super rude to my mom who came to visit with food and when I walked out to get her after they wouldn’t allow her to my hotel I over heard them talking about her in a rude way. When we got to my room I called down and asked for the manager and she denied me. Overall all this was one of the worst experience at a hotel that I’ve had.
My stay was great I’ve stayed here back in June which prompted my stay this month. I came down from Alabama to Virginia to visit my spouse who’s in military AIT. If only early check in around 12 was possible as I was really tired from the driving but was able to check in early at 2 with the help of front desk
Customer service was awesome! They went above and beyond to make sure we had an awesome stay. We are in the area quite a bit and this is now our go-to hotel.
