Make it known that you parking is to be paid for. Having bad knee & no working elevator & have to go up & down the stairs (3 levels) was a horrible experience. If I had seen parking wasn’t included in the rental stay would have kept searching that little information would and is very important to be given before one proceeds in booking

Too expensive

Bathroom shower head was strange. I paid over $400 for two nights, which is not the price I thought I was getting. I was told breakfast was included for my stay then told it actually wasn’t. The $25 a night hidden fee for parking was also unexpected. I will choose elsewhere next time.

Toilet would not flush and kept getting clogged. We called the front desk and was told they couldn’t find a plunger or maintenance. Finally they switched us to a new room at midnight after we requested it.

Facility is clean, check in was fast, the staff are helpful, and the hotel and surrounding is quiet. The gym is smaller than my expectations. The water dispenser on the ground floor is mostly empty and needs refilling.

Location was convenient, however parking wasn’t explained very well and kind of confusing. The dining options were also not explained well and didn’t see they gave us a breakfast card and it stuck to the door key so paid for breakfast only to have them had to refund it. Staff was helpful getting things corrected for us.
