Facility rooms are dated, no pick up of used towels and wash cloths, breakfast room was very cold because door didn’t shut quickly. Food amount placed on plate was paltry. You had to go up 3 times to get an amount of food normally given at other hotels. No daily room service for changing bed linens or the used towels and wash cloths, I had to go to front desk to get fresh towels and toilet paper. Front desk staff was very nice along with the lone housekeeping lady I finally saw on my 4th day of my stay there who politely took my accumulated used towels when I asked her to. I didn’t hear one positive word from the many people I ran into who were also staying there. 👎👎👎

Two major complaints from our 4 day stay. We had no housekeeping service. When I asked the maid for fresh towels she said no. Eventually we called the front desk and got some. Emptied some of our own trash. Parking is extremely limited. We didn't leave the facility in the evening or we would lose a parking spot. Cars were parked all along the fire lane every night and other oddball places.

Hello! I am very disappointed with the hotel and the entire experience. I arrived after 2 long flights, took a nap and woke up bitten. Also, there were insects in the room, terrible smell of chemicals, and shower clogged when I tried to shower. I had to check out and reserve another hotel. I asked for a full refund and they are still giving me a hard time. I have pictures to prove my inconveniences. I asked Expedia to assist me as I am a loyal customer of you and book all my trips experiences with you directly. Thank you in advance.

Yes, the room was nice. Please be prepared to carry your own water bottles and stuff. They do not even have a proper water filling station. The one they have is always out of water.

First of all, the selection made from Expedia’s portal did not match up with my selection. Expedia’s deceptive tactics were not appreciated! The hotel room photo’s and my selection did not match. I selected a king size suite with a terrace and there was no terrace!! The room was never cleaned or, serviced during my entire stay!! The furniture was old and you could smell the stinch in the room!
