The check in process was unfortunately very difficult as they could not find my reservation and I arrived late at night so was disappointed to have to wait while they tried to find me a room. I was also given a smaller room than I reserved for the same price and one that looked out onto the parking lot on the first floor, which did not make me feel safe.

Very Disappointing Stay – Do Not Recommend This property advertises breakfast, but in reality, there was barely any food available. We were repeatedly told it would be restocked “shortly,” but it never was. Even after multiple guests asked, staff claimed they were out—despite breakfast having just started. Housekeeping was also a major issue. We stayed for seven nights and had to repeatedly ask for our room to be cleaned. When it finally was, the staff was clearly unhappy about it. The room itself was extremely small—so small that two people could barely move around comfortably. The ceiling was unusually low, which made the room feel cramped and uncomfortable. Another major issue was the overpowering scent machines throughout the hotel. The smell was overwhelming and caused an immediate headache. In addition, the ice machine on the 4th floor did not work. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. There are much better properties available at similar prices. I would not recommend staying here.
