The room had a smell. You can hear the people on next room. The people next doors down you can tell they were from a construction company staying which there’s nothing wrong with it but they had the doors open of the rooms and people sitting around the walkway and drinking alcohol which made it uncomfortable to walk by. You can smell the weed at night through your room which it was very unpleasant.

The hotel is well worth the price. It has EV charging stations, a beautiful garden, and very clean pool. Breakfast was standard American breakfast, with many options. For me, the downsides are 1. beds are too soft. 2. It was very noisy when people dragged their luggage around, especially because we were on the first floor. I got waken up multiple times in the morning because of that.

Not so great service

I asked for room cleaning the second day for the next day but didn’t get it even though they said ok. So no room cleaning or fresh towels for four days. The last day they knocked and actually tried to enter early and I wasn’t dressed! Don’t they know to wait until someone checks out or leaves the room? Hotel front desk was not very friendly-kinda cold. Breakfast bar scene was piraña-like. Everyone got anxious because they ran out of some food items on the crowded morning of July 4. No bagels or danish. Construction is ongoing with a new elevator and our second floor room had a view of earth-moving equipment parked in the lot next to the hotel. Finally, when I came home it looked like I had been double-charged for the room on my credit card! I called and they said to monitor it for a few days and it should adjust but honestly, why does it show twice?

There was construction and workers used up all the packing space. The one bedroom was spacious but had a very could smell- most likely from construction and it was loud with construction all day. Breakfast was the only saving grace.
