I liked the ease of walking from the elevator to the room and to the Lobby. The breakfast was tasty and a good amount (served during covid pandemic). There was an extra feeling of safety with the Lysol labels they had placed outside of the door and on various items inside the room as well as a link to show how they cleaned the room. We received a surprise bag of complimentary snacks which was nice, as well as two complimentary drinks per person at the bar. The bed was very comfortable. The room (executive suite) was well designed and felt relaxing. I would prefer the parking be closer (located in another building next door), and probably a plastic bag to put worn clothes. Other than that, would recommend!!

This hotel room need to be updated. There was no shower booth but shower curtain. And no bottle water to drink in the room. It was too dark. The worse was parking. I should extra parking fee over $35. But the parking lot was off the site. And one of the the staff was not kind. I never stay here anymore.

We booked this property over 2 months in advance so our girls could swim on Christmas Day! They closed the pool for renovations and did not let anyone know. They just said that we should have checked their website. They would not refund us even though there was no one staying at the hotel.
