A couple things - beds were ok but I hate polyester sheets - who needs more microplastics in our bodies! Please consider offering 100% cotton sheets to those who care! AND when I booked this hotel I was not aware a parking charge would be collected at check-in!

We recently booked three rooms at this property as part of a group reservation. Upon arrival, we were informed that the hotel could not honor our stay and that we were being relocated to a sister property. Unfortunately, the alternate hotel was not of equal quality, and no compensation was offered for the inconvenience. The relocated property had noticeably dirty floors and would not have been our preferred choice. Additionally, there were several issues during check-in, including an attempt to double-charge one member of our group and assigning another to a room that was already occupied. Overall, this experience was extremely disappointing. Due to the lack of professionalism and poor handling of the situation, I do not plan to stay with this property—or any affiliated locations—in the future.
