On first day there was no hot water and the heating fan in the room was very noisy. I tried to reach out to manager that night (Sat.) and they has not get back to me today (Wed.) Staff at the hotel was helpful though. Maintainance person helped fix the fan noise Sunday morning. We also got hot water on Sunday night but the first day experience was very disaappointing. Also just a heads-up, there is extra resort fee at the hotel upon arrival for USD 34.42/night when booking through Expedia.

front desk staff was friendly, really like that they could hold our luggge before and after check in. Room was super spacious and nice. Set up was great. Not far from subway. I give -1 star for the cold shower situation we dealt with both nights :( and the previous reviews were not joking when they said the heater is loud in the room! Didn’t bother my s/o but it was definitely loud to me.

The room was amazing and clean. However my first day, the girl with the glasses at the front desk and her friend that worked there were rude. The one with the glasses was impatient with me as I was getting my credit card out to put a hold on the room. I just saw her recently and don’t think she should be working there at all. She’s immature and unprofessional. These girls escalated the situation by being rude and then flipped it around after I defended myself. I would stay here again if they’re not here anymore. They don’t deserve a job there.

I loved this hotel so much!!! The front desk ladies were absolutely wonderful! Super nice and helpful! The room was gorgeous and had everything I needed to cook all my food. The bed was really comfortable and the bathroom is stunning! I loved the sauna, probably the best sauna I’ve ever used! We’ll definitely stay here again!!!
