Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel its okay, room was clean but. *We didn’t have conditioner, it was filled up with body wash. *I told one of the hostesses if they can send someone to clean our room and they never arrived to clean the room. *The hospitality staff was decent (just the bare minimum) including the restaurant breakfast employees. *You have to pay 30+ dollars to park your car at the hotel parking per night. *The hotel parking was horrible and has no cameras, and there is no security.(also it’s like outside of the hotel) *The food was decent and they didn’t restock some of the food so try to be early. *Also they only open breakfast for like 4 hours and they closed before 11 am In my opinion it’s an okay option to stay, but I will not come back to this location again.

You pay for a secure, self parking garage that is NOT secure. The "out" gate was open the whole time with people driving in and out. Also, we had no hot water. I called the desk who said someone would come, but the problem was never addressed or fixed. I did get an "I'm sorry " on the way out.
