Great Staff!

I had a last-minute stay at this hotel and was genuinely impressed! The room was clean, comfortable, and exceeded my expectations for such short notice. What really made the experience stand out was the exceptional service at the front desk. Ms. Tatiana was incredibly kind, welcoming, and went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. Her warmth and professionalism truly made my stay memorable. Highly recommend!

I discovered that a previous guest obviously put a plastic wrap over the smoke detector, and I noticed a strong cigarette oder, when obviously I requested a non-smoking room. This also is a serious safety risk and danger.

Breakfast was the best part. Free and lots of great options. Rooms were tidy and beds were comfortable. Overall a win. Weekend rate was kinda pricey for what it is though.

At check in the clerk was eating at the desk and speaking with his mouth full. At breakfast we asked the front desk staff if they had non-dairy milk options and were told we could go buy some st the store if we wanted it. Pretty rude staff.
