Everything was fine, very nice and clean rooms, there was variety at breakfast. But parking is not included, there’s a $25 parking fee, it’s probably typical in the area it just surprised me because it said parking available, I mis interpreted to mean free parking.

Sub-par experience, especially for the cost.

The bed was extremely uncomfortable. It felt like we were sleeping on plywood. The air conditioner in the bedroom didn’t cool well and sounded like a jet engine. Overall, while the room seemed like it was clean, there was a lot of staining on the furniture and curtains. With that, the couch felt kind of nasty. All of the dresser drawers were in pretty rough shape. On the plus side, room was huge.

The extra $18 parking per night was not disclosed anywhere on the website nor by staff when I checked in! Isn't that being dishonest on the price? The rooms are over priced! Come on 2 nights total over $550 and they didn't even service the room after the first night!! Seriously what is wrong with corporate America which also axed the morning coffee bar that was there a few years back!! Cheap service high price. I don't have a favorable impression of this hotel.

I returned here after an AMAZING stay last time. I think my expectations were too high? We were in a non smoking room but our neighbors never left their balcony and smoked cigarettes and weed the whole 4 days. The room smelled stale but we couldnt open the slider door because the neighbors filled our room with smoke. The pool maintenance man yelled at my son for trying to catch a beetle, was just so rude. I had to call front desk 2x for some extra coffee for our room, she explained they were understaffed, totally understand! The room was visibly dirty, bathroom smelled like mold. It just felt a bit run down. The staff (pool maint guy excluded) were all so kind and helpful. Definitely didnt want to complain and get the average joes in trouble. Id probably stay here again but Id inspect my room before I committed.

It was a beautiful property my room was nice but there was no instructions in the form of pamphlets on how to use the TV or the air conditioning. I called once to ask someone to come show me how to use the air conditioner no one came in 45 minutes no one came so I called again and they did come the pillows on the bed were like Old Flower sacks. Outside my bedroom window was a cement wall. It was quiet and nice otherwise we were so floored to find out that the breakfast was not complimentary and was in fact $26 each
