Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
We found the air conditioning did not work well and had to run it all night long. Needless to say it was very noisy. Otherwise the place was clean and comfortable.
Quite disappointed with quality and service.
At $403 a night, I would have easily paid half of that rate.
Room was very average, but bathroom was pitiful.
When I expressed my disappointment to front desk, they were not concerned, and said Expedia bookings were not there problem...basically 'So sorry...Too bad'.
I will not be going to Sandman Hotels anytime soon again.
Terrible location, overpriced, rooms are super hot and give you an in window ac unit that’s super loud. No room service and pool is tiny. Very unpleased with my stay for the price spent.
There should be a sign by the Travel Lodge sign as we missed the turn and ended up at the wrong Sandman.
We loved Moxies being attached to the hotel - great restaurant for dinner!
Very comfortable bed and easy access to the airport.
Restaurant is excellent. Hot water was barely warm and the AC didn’t cool the room to our satisfaction. Reasonable cost for a one night stay near the airport.
