It was a decent location. Construction was taking place in and outside the building. So the elevator was not working. We had to take all of our bags and dogs upstairs via the stairs. (We were on the 4th floor).

Let me begin by stating that this establishment deserves 10 stars. My family and I have had to book an extended stay due to sudden unfortunate issues with our residence. The hotel is extremely well maintained, and despite current renovations the construction did not disturb us in any way. The cleaning staff is always happy to help you with anything you need. They are always happy and smiling. The staff at the front desk is exceptional. Always available to answer any questions or concerns. Parking is easy and I have always been able to find a spot, even on the weekends when it gets busy. The location is great with plenty of nearby grocery stores and restaurants. There are even big box stores within walking distance. A Walgreens store is located in the adjacent parking lot as well as a 24hr gas station. Free laundry is available and the machines are well maintained. The gym is spacious and quiet. The rooms are great. Comfortable beds, great pillows, plenty of space. Very large shower, and plenty of hot water. The kitchenette is fully stocked with dishware, flatware, and regular sized appliances. Including a dishwasher! ***The customer service manager, Morgan, was extremely helpful with the resolution of a billing error that accidentally occurred. She was attentive, kind, and very professional. The general manager, Fernando, was amazing as well. Rarely do you get to speak to a GM when there is an issue, but Fernando always made himself available. He personally assisted us often.

Check In 1) They check in clerk was very friendly, however, the way the desk was set up, she was located behind a 3/4 high wall about 10 feet away from the counter being where she could be located, only seeing her eyes from there. The check in was delayed. I was told there was a problem with the reservation but it was worked out. Total wait time was 20 minutes after standing in line for 10 minutes with 1 person ahead of me. 2) The room It was clean and I enjoyed having a kitchenette with a real freezer with ice! I was cold in the middle of the night and the thermostat didn’t work but I hadn’t noticed the heater against the wall like they used to be. The elevator broke right before I was to carry in my belongings!! I am just a girl in her 50’s. Ugh… Fortunately I was only on the 2nd floor. b) The shower was approximately 75 degrees, however again, that’s because I, and probably most, didn’t know how the water faucet worked. I turn the handle all the way hot, then turn it down based on how hot it is but this faucet, it gets hot by twisting very little then gets colder the more you turn it. 3) Service called at 8:00am, when most might be awake already to tell me construction would begin working and not be alarmed with hammering and such. The phone however, was not beside the bed and I was still asleep, it was across the room. It seems as if they could have notified us that information upon check in. 4) The price was very reasonably priced for the rating it had at 4.5/5.

There were roaches in the suite we booked and we refused to stay in the room. We were subsequently downgraded to another standard room. It was a horrible experience and I believe that we should be fully refunded. I also am now beginning to believe that hotels secure reviews that are more favorable than factual. Beware.

I have to say I was very satisfied with my stay this past weekend. As soon as you walk through the door the staff was friendly and first thing I noticed is that it smelled nice and clean (no odor) which is a plus for me. Room was as described and spacious and clean. I even loved something simple as providing Dove body wash in the shower, which made me so happy. I will definitely recommend as well as book again in future.

It’s a fair deal for the price. It’s good for someone that wants to save money by not eating every meal out. It has declined somewhat in the attention to detail. If you can call getting a room with no recliner, or just a hard folding chair at the desk, a detail. I understand there are renovations happening, floor by floor so that may improve. I’ve been coming to the hotel for two years about four times a year and it used to be better. Still the best hotel in the immediate area for the dollar in my opinion. The fact that they are pet friendly is a plus for me.

Check in was awful. They didn’t have our reservation or the reservation for the woman in front of us. Only one person on staff and she was nice but In over her head with no backup. It actually took one hour and 15 minutes to get a room!! Although we had prepaid with proof, we had to pay again and now have to deal with getting a refund. Otherwise a good place to stay. Clean and comfortable.

We loved the location and property was in great shape. Check in was an unexpected adventure. We checked in at 3:30 and the room was ready. We put some of our belongings in the room and left to go see family we were there to visit and when we arrived back that night our room keys didn’t work. We were quite surprised to find that they had given away the room to someone else who had complained about their room and removed our belongings without notifying us. We were able to secure another room there for the night but it was not a smooth transition. Staff seemed overwhelmed and disorganized.

The quality of this hotel has degraded year-by-year over the last four years, and I was very disappointed on my last trip. The front desk personnel will hardly lift a finger and act as if they are being asked a great favor, rather than enthusiastically granting a guests simple request. On one trip there was no toaster or coffee maker in the room, and this last trip I had to beg for two days for a toaster. It’s a residence type hotel but there is no table in the room. You are provided with two forks, two spoons, two butter knives, no spatula, no scouring pads, no cover for the frying pan, and in almost every room I’ve stayed in, faulty outlets force you to make toast in the bathroom, or plugged into a lamp. The luggage carts are old and broken and there are only two of them. In the three years I’ve been visiting this hotel four times a year, they have never bothered to create or provide a channel guide for the cable tv service they use. If you want to find CNN or TBS, you have to flip through 200 channels waiting for the digital cable system to change channels, then sitting through commercials until you can figure out what channel you are watching. I’ve mentioned this to the desk people for years but apparently nobody thinks it’s a worthy consideration for the guests. The cost of the rooms are now overpriced on the weekends, you would do much better at the hotel across the street at this point. Or the the Clarion around the corner.

Front desk was very unorganized. They seemed to have booked rooms before arrivals. If you came earlier than your room was ready they gave you someone else’s room. They were confused. We even went to our room and they called the room for us to come back down as they gave us a room that was paid for. Then when we went back to lobby they apologized and said they’d just give them another room when they show up.

This is a wonderful place to stay if you want to cook for yourself: Microwave, full-size refrigerator, flatware, etc. This comes at a cost. The hotel food and beverage choices are very limited and not cost-effective. Either grocery shop or dine out. Lastly, I wish that hotel bathrooms in general would acquire toilets with a proper ratio of seat height to water level. You wouldn't tolerate that "surprise" in your home, so why do that to paying customers? It's an industry-wide phenomenon/practice. Overall, it really is a ver nice hotel though.

My husband and I couldn’t find any cups, glasses, or plates. Come to find out, the dishwasher was fully loaded with all of the items listed. Although the items had been cleaned, the dishwasher gad not been emptied. Am I to assume that is the newest customer that it was my responsibility to empty it? Also, there’s a very large (wide) empty space along one wall which could easily accommodate a couch or loveseat. Because there was none, you were forced to either use the chair at the desk, or sit on the edge of the bed; our room was a suite. Also, there was no TV channel list in the room. I went to the front desk and asked about this. They provided me with a print-out (apiece of paper) from a binder that has the channel listings. Why is this not in the room? There is a small coffee pot in the room with one regular and one decaf coffee filter pouch. Creamer and sugar were not in the room. You had to go down the hall to the common area to get them. Cost is high for the room. Therefore, I would expect these small and minor amenities actually in the room and not have to go in search of them down to the common area or to the front desk.
