Overall it was a decent stay, but for the price we spent for a night, it should’ve been better.
The room wasn’t in the best condition, it was in good condition but should be maintained better. The bathroom counter was cracked and not put back together, could’ve easily cut someone. There was garbage left over from a prior guest in the kitchen cabinet.
The pool area was overcrowded and not very kid friendly being that they allowed adults to drink alcohol by the pool; there wasn’t anyone to help maintain a positive or safe environment in that area.
Parking in the neighborhood is scarce, and overnight parking costs $45 at the hotel if you don’t find a street parking.
The breakfast was below average as a buffet; very basic breakfast items. The staff were friendly overall.
We wouldn’t stay here again, but we made the most our trip overall.
Its really clean & the service is amazing so is the room ! Its clean and looks new . I loved my stay so much & would definitely book again

Disliked: Staff & service
There could be instructions on how to get to the main lobby from the ground entrance. Parking was an issue. We got put in a room that joined the room next to it. The people were extremely loud. Overall not impressed. Definitely won’t be coming back.
Our front door was out of square and very difficult to open and close. No room cleaning for a 6 day stay. Breakfast was barely adequate and would run out of food. Key card system was not functioning well particularly for the elevators even after 2nd programming. Room was clean and staff was very nice, but not a great stay.
