We went to our room and had a view that can only be described as “below the parking lot”. We immediately requested a room change or upgrade and we were told that “ this is the kind of room you get with Expedia” and there were other rooms available, but at a much higher price. That was a slap in the face, and immediately gave us a bad taste in our mouth for the entire stay.

I loved staying here and will come back. My only gripe is that they don’t have an organized process to get your bags In and out of the hotel. To get my bags in the hotel the receptionist asked me to go to valet but there wasn’t anyone there. Two patrons helped me carry my luggage in (I had my 16 month old baby with me.) Checking out I called 30 minutes ahead for someone to help me take my bags to the car, no one came and I ended up doing it myself with my toddler. I did see employees walking around with hotel trolly carts but when I needed it I didn’t get the service. Other than this the stay was great.
