There was too much louder noise from the shuttle service started at 4:30am in the morning. I called front desk and they said they cannot do anything about it. When I was checking in, they gave me a room on the first floor very close to parking lot and I brought up noise concerns at that time but they assured that it will be quiet throughout the morning. It ruined my sleep and I had a very busy next day. Front desk even hang up on me when I complained. Very bad experience. Not coming here again at all. This is the difference between good brands and lower brands hotel.

This was one of the best hotel stays I've experienced, starting with my initial interaction with the young man at the front desk. Although check in time was not until 4pm, I had nothing to do to waste time until then, after having driven through the night. He graciously allowed me to use the pool for about 1 1/2 hours while guests were checking out and then granted me an early check in at 2:30! The room was beautiful, clean, peaceful! The hotel was immaculate and the breakfast buffet was fantastic! I honestly wish I had been staying for more than 1 night! Will definitely recommend and use again!!
