Very modest property. Ice cold air conditioning and comfortable bed. Otherwise, nothing special. No morning coffee or staff anywhere in sight upon checking out.

Initially, the clerk gave us a non-handicapped room. After checking it and realizing it wouldn’t work, he traded the room for a handicapped friendly. The room was outside entry, and wasn’t noisy in spite of the heavy truck traffic among 50-287. The bed was comfortable. The main problems we had were the lack of a place to hang our clothes (had to use the shower curtain rod), and there was no bed stand on one side (I use a CPAP, and had to place it in a small suitcase to elevate it. I also despised having DirecTV in the room, and probably wouldn’t stay here again for that reason. It was complicated to use. We couldn’t get our favorite news channel- kept skipping over it- so I gave up and used my tablet with WiFi instead. The WiFi connection worked great! Not a bad room for the price.

This hotel is phenomenal! I love the decor, the size of the rooms, the team and the amazing plants. I would’ve liked to have some space to put our shaving and make up kits by the sink, but there’s no space. In addition there is no closet to hang anything up. I would love to see some better toilet paper as well.

Room was great. Check in a as okay but couldn't pay with a different card than I used to reserve the room. Added an additional $100 charge to yhat card and still wanted the other card on file for incidentals. But my biggest complaint was breakfast by 8 am there was nothing left but half a biscut dried out potatoes and overcooked eggs.
