Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Hotel does seem dated, especially away from reception area. Air-con in our room wasn’t working so a portable unit had been placed in the room. This meant that the patio doors were left slightly open to allow the unit to vent. Noise from the airport was therefore a lot louder than should have been.
we wanted a nice place to stay during a layover;
our room, a suite, smelled of smoke. the sheets had stains. the pillows were not fresh. we asked to be moved, and they did, but the new room had a damp, moth ball smell to it. none of my family felt good about being there. everything was dated and dingy. we slept a few hours out of exhaustion and left to go to another hotel.
Room smelled musty and had a big wet spot on the carpet that didn’t dry throughout our stay (leak?). Big enough that it was hard to avoid stepping on it when walking to the bathroom. Mattress was comfortable enough but fitted sheets wouldn’t stay on the bed as they’d lost their elasticity. Decor is dated. Not a super pleasant place to stay. Avoided the room as much as possible. Frustrating given the price.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Elevator broken - had to carry heavy luggage up one flight of stairs and then back down; one person with bad knees had to really struggle to get up and down the stairs each time
Window partly missing due to broken air conditioner and it was noisier from traffic and airplanes
Floor from bed to window still wet from flooding so socks got wet
We were not informed of any of this

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
i like the hotel friendly staff and convenient location but the water pressure in the shower is so slow like you're not washing your hair and also the pool area the floors are so slippery needs to provide more anti slip mats and staff needs to monitor the pool more often especially replenishing the towels and to check on the guests following the rules on the pool...during our stay so many kids were diving on the pool and hot tub even with their parents around.
It was very difficult for me to unload and move my baggage to my room, since all the luggage carts were loaded with other people's baggage, tho they were not around.
Where do I start? There was a sound of running water through the pipes in our room...it was making so much noise that we couldn't sleep, we called reception, they sent us a maintenance guy who came to check on it and told us that there's nothing he can do about it and he said that he was going to talk to the manager but we never heard back from anyone and since it was our last night at the hotel...we sucked it up & left the next day.
We had payed a lot of money to stay in a family suite for 5 days, the room was on the main floor, the first thing we noticed when we opened the curtains is that we were facing the parking lot, cars were parked right outside the window of our room, we could hear every car coming and going even in the middle of the night. We asked to be moved and we were told that all family rooms face the parking lot which I wish I had seen that in the reviews as I was not going to book a room at this hotel. Last but not least, we were told at the time of check in that they do not clean the rooms unless you call reception before 10am to put in a request for your room to be cleaned as the hotel is too big. I have stayed at big resorts in different countries and I have not heard anything like that in my life! Would I recommend this hotel? No! Would I stay in this hotel again? Absolutely not! I do not ever write reviews but I had to write one for this hotel as I wish someone has put all these details in the previous reviews, it would have helped me not to book it.
My family and I stayed there for 3 nights. The location was good, easy to navigate to where we wanted to visit without driving super far. There was lots of options for food and only 3 min drive to Costco. The hotel is nice and the rooms were good, but could use an update. My biggest complaint was the noise. We had a couple of men swearing and chasing down the hallway at 3:30 am on our second night. There is a lot of people coming and going at all hours of the evening. You can hear a lot of the doors slamming close and people talking.
