The shower had horrible water pressure with an awful whining sound. The toilet was leaking out the bottom meaning actual waste water was leaking in the bathroom. The TV wouldn’t receive any kid of signal. The lighting quality was god awful for doing make up. When I brought this information to the front desk. The gal working didn’t really care, didn’t offer to pay for the parking or anything. Do NOT stay here!!

Shelia at the front desk made my stay wonderful! She is so friendly, helpful and fun to chat with. I was able to use the complimentary shuttle to get to the airport/Walgreens. The hotel is beautiful. My only comment is that the walls seem thing-If you stay near the elevator you can hear normal volume conversations be try clearly.
