Cool industrial looking hotel near a large shopping mall. Convenient and spacious. Rooms are comfortable but bathrooms are a bit crammed in the standard room class. Good food menu offered and nice cocktail list. This is a business hotel with a cool vibe. The mall is big and fancy with coffee shops, restaurants, supermarket and many shops.

Great location. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Two minute walk to a big mall that has a descent size grocery store, ATM, restaurants and regular shopping. The mall is very clean and felt safe. Breakfast at hotel is a little pricey but if you are limited with time, it’s a good option.

In a very clean and safe shopping center complex next to the University. Good restaurant onsite and plenty others within walking distance across the parking lot. Friendly and helpful staff with an updated design property. Many pricing options should be affordable to most travelers.

The stuff was amazing.(Visto) I booked this stay for a special and very dear to me person celebrating her birthday. I booked a room hope they would give them two beds but we’re only give one. I asked I could move them was told I would have to pay for the room they were in and the one they transfer them too. I advised it okay move them tomorrow to the family room and was charged an additional amount which was showing different on my end. I paid it did not hesitate. My mom is elderly and offered to pay all her bills was told no they won’t be able to bill me for that, so I sent her cash. Today I get an email saying pay her balance for her meals, I asked rheum what changed now and before when I asked you guys to bill me. ( feeling confused) I have stayed there before and was hoping for a good experience for her. Talking about the massage she got, tell me when customer get a massage do you only do the back and not the whole body? I actually regret booking the spa there. I thought it was a great idea but an epic fail. It’s a nice location and things can be done better. I wanted her day to be special.
