Review summary
The hotel is highly praised for its comfortable beds and pillows, contributing to a restful stay. Guests appreciate the cleanliness of the rooms and the impressive fitness center, which offers a wider variety of equipment than typical hotel gyms. While the location is convenient, some guests note the high parking costs as a drawback, despite the overall positive experience and attentive staff.

Hotel is very nice. Clean and comfortable. Appreciate the dog friendliness. The restaurant on site was great. We stayed a week ago for a night and I will say the staff that night were extra amazing. So welcoming to us and our pup. Offered treats and gave us the lay of the land on where to be and what to do and best food to eat even! We dined at the rooftop restaurant and everyone was amazing and so sweet. This time the woman at the front desk seemed much less interested. Didn’t mention our pup besides charging us for him to stay. We asked about parking as we had an issue with the Passport app working where the self park lot is and she didn’t give much help to the situation and just shrugged saying we shouldn’t get towed if we’re out early enough which made us a little anxious.
We had a problem with the parking lot payment app not working. No one knew what to do. Didn’t get super warm vibes from the front desk but we did a week ago from different people. Maybe it’s a long week - it was for us too - but always nice to be welcomed with a water bottle and a dog treat vs. rushed off besides being reminded of where dogs aren’t allowed and the fee for the night.

Staff very attentive, nice and helpful. We were greeted as soon as we pulled up staff assisted us with getting our belongings to our room.
I wish the beds were more comfortable and the bed pillows need an upgrade.

The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The fitness center had a much larger variety than most hotel gyms offer, great if you like to work out. The aroma of the coffee shop was amazing too.
There was no EV charging on site. This was the only reason i chose the hotel, was based on them having an EV charger which you had advertised. I was charged $150 to charge my car over night and the next night cost me $137. So it cost more money to charge my car than stay in the hotel. The best western right down the street offers free EV charging. So instead of spending $600 on 2 nights i could have just stayed there for $300. It cost $1.25 for the first 4 Hours then $20 Thereafter. My car wouldn't be completely charged unless it was charging for 10 hours. This is basically a scam and i will not be using Booking .com in the future.

Great place to stay. Very comfortable.
The only thing was no allowance for cancellation of your booking without penalty.

The property was beautiful, clean, beds were comfortable and the pillows perfect! Also, the fitness center is probably one of the best that I have encountered in a hotel room
