Very comfortable, would stay again.

The room was vey clean and the bed was also very comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful when asked. The only reason I didn't give the hotel room 5 starts was for two reasons and the cleaning staff may have already put in work orders. I was not able to slide the front mirrored closet door it was stuck, the back one worked fine so still a functioning closet. The toilet paper holder is the type that holds two rolls one on each side. The issue was that it was not secured properly to the wall so when in use the roll would fall off and hit the floor. I would still stay at this hotel again.

Disliked: Staff & service
Staff seems don’t know how to manage changes to reservations. I booked three rooms and stated that each room occupants were to pay their stay with their credit cards. Before we arrived they charged me for the three rooms. When we got there and requested to change the cards they said that they would do it at check out. On check out day they charged the other people for their rooms but stated that the credit to my credit card would take a couple of days. Now three days later I don’t see a credit on my card and I can not communicate with anyone I keep getting disconnected when I chose to talk to a live person.

The staff were very unfriendly. I had multiple billing issues as well. When I contacted them about receiving a refund for the extra charges the lady at the desk seemed like she had better things to do. Overall, the condition of the hotel was quite poor, our bathroom door did not close all the way, the door to our room barely closed fully, among other things.
