We selected this hotel for the airport shuttle specifically. However, no shuttle ever came. We called over and over and the call wouldn't even go through. We ended up calling a Lyft. Other people behind us at the check in desk said the same. However check in and room were fine.

Kirk

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is under major construction and has dust everywhere on the first floor. We were not warned about this. The lobby area is a joke, cramped and a total mess. The breakfast area is crowded and poorly arranged with some of the foods not available for 15 minutes (or not at all). Several staff members were surly and very poor communicators. No one was at the check-in desk when we arrived. We waited and waited until finally someone showed up. Two staff members were excellent (Lulu and Sam), but despite their kindness we will never stay at this property again. For the hefty price we paid, it was awful.
