Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were very clean, but they seemed a bit small and had evidence of frequent adult activities, which was a downside. The service was exceptional regarding safety measures, but some staff members seemed unprofessional. The location was convenient for access to nearby attractions, yet the surrounding area was not as enjoyable as anticipated. The dining experience was decent overall, with a good variety of delicious options but occasional shortages of items. The facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.
The hotel rooms were okay, but some maintenance issues like broken parts and a not so fresh bathroom lowered the experience. However, the staff was incredibly accommodating to address any concerns, making the stay more pleasant. The location was convenient with easy access to dining and shopping options, though the bathrooms in both rooms were not as clean as expected.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location was convenient with easy freeway access and plenty of nearby restaurants, the room I was assigned was less than ideal, situated on the first floor between the electrical room and the back exit, tainted by a lingering smell of cigarette smoke and cleanliness issues. However, the service provided was welcoming and attentive, despite encountering a mishap of having to use someone else's dirty water for showering. The dining options left much to be desired, prompting me to seek alternatives outside the hotel premises.
