Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Front desk was very nice. Actually most of the staff the staff I encountered was great. However, on several occasions the staff was out in front/side of the main entrance smoking which made it unavoidable to exit or enter the hotel without encountering smoke. I’m asthmatic snd smoke triggers an attack. If they could take the smoking to the back of the property, or an area that is nowhere near the main entrance, this would be ideal. Aside from that, they get 5 stars.

Everything was very clean, from the lobby to the room. It was very esthetically pleasing. The only two problem's I had was the room above me. I do not know if they had children or not but it was a lot of stomping going on. I made the front desk aware and it was taken care care. There is a parking fee. Very pleased with my stay. Front desk staff was very helpful and informative. Will definitely stay again.

The property is new, so it is in very good condition and it was very clean. Staff was great and helpful. The only thing is that the air conditioner was not working in our room, so we had to change rooms, what was a bit inconvenient. Besides that, everything else was good. Parking was $6,50/day
