The hotel itself is beautiful, and the staff were generally very friendly. However, unfortunately, we did not have a good overall experience during our stay. We stayed for two nights and noticed that basic amenities such as hair conditioner and Kleenex were run out in the room. While this may seem like a small issue, when you are traveling with children who are not feeling well, these details can make a big difference. When we asked for a spoon or fork, a restaurant employee informed us that they could not provide one because we were not dining there, which was disappointing. In the middle of the night, a false fire alarm went off. Staff mentioned that this had never happened before, but it was very difficult to fall back asleep afterward. Additionally, the shower knob in our room was broken, making it very hard to get warm water. Since our kids were under the weather, a cold shower was especially uncomfortable. A maintenance staff member kindly tried to help around 10 p.m., but the issue could not be resolved. We ended up taking cold showers and did not push the matter further because we had an early flight the next morning. Despite all of these issues, we were not offered any compensation. Instead, our bill increased for reasons that were unclear to us. We also have not receive our receipt from the hotel yet. Overall, while the hotel has great potential and friendly staff, our experience fell short due to several avoidable issues.

We stayed here for 1 night on a tail end of a family vacation. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The rooms were clean. It is a bit loud due to the proximity to the highway. However, a great option if you are headed to the airport. They have a great shuttle service and offered a to go breakfast for early flights out. Always a good sign when you see many flight crews checking in for the night.
