Pros +

  • It was wonderful! Great location and super helpful staff. We had a great time!
  • The entire hotel from check in and to check out was amazing. Zak and Demeria was outstanding. The manager Brittany she was amazing as well helping us with the upgrade to compensate for just a small mishap. The room was so beautiful, and we enjoyed it. It was very huge we were on the 16th floor and all the accommodations was there. The wooden paddle inside the hotel was great for breakfast the next morning, and the staff was very friendly. The location of the hotel was perfectly located, and I definitely will be back to stay again.
  • Hallway was well-lit.Though mattress was high, it was comfortable. Sheets felt great. Bathroom was well-lit and bright.Down side is the rust in the slider-guide of the shower - rusting out.Plumber should clean the grout around the shower handles - hard water.Lighting controls were easily accessible and functional.

Cons -

  • The only thing that I can say that I disliked about the hotel was the parking. Parking spaces for too close, and very very small.
  • Nothing
