The room had A LOT of ants. When calling the front desk to ask to be moved to a different room, I was told that there weren't any rooms available and there was nothing they could do. When I tried to escalate this to a manager, there was not one working. After them suggesting they would come and spray the room, leaving me in a toxic cloud, they then moved me to a new room. It was a horrible stay.

The hotel’s facilities are excellent, with well-maintained and comfortable accommodations. However, the Wi-Fi connection was disappointing, showing instability and speeds far below expectations. This aspect should be improved, as it directly affects the guest experience. Overall, my stay was satisfactory.

Place was great an reasonable priced, I was told there was security in the parking or at night but u didn’t see any although big property, there was a light sensor that kept me up all night an I was too delusional from traveling to know it was a sensor (I move a lot in my sleep) so make sure to call maintenance an have it removed, the little kitchen was convenient, I liked the balcony, tv had good channels, restroom an floors needed deep cleaning but the maids took a long time cleaning other rooms so maybe better cleaning supplies? A/C a fan was great. Good work space. Breakfast was good, pancakes sausage hash browns a scrambled eggs, I’m a night owl, so waking up late I missed the coffee, they had tea. Staff was polite an attentive. Pillows an beds were comfy. I’d stay here again as a middle aged solo chick traveler.

I've been here a few times and I do like the hotel. The room has a good layout. Instead of being square, it's a long rectangle shape which makes it appear big. The only dislike is that the room is a little on the darker side even with all the lights on. I have to turn about 8-10 switches on. Other that that, it's a great place

The room is very spacious, which is great. It also has a sofa bed. There’s no shampoo or conditioner to wash your hair, only an unscented liquid soap. The breakfast is good. The hotel doesn’t have a pleasant smell — it smells like urine. The hotel doesn’t even have water for sale. The receptionist was not friendly. My friends were charged twice and had the inconvenience of contacting the hotel to try to get a refund. Since I paid with a debit card, I didn’t have that problem. I don’t recommend it and I wouldn’t book another stay there.

The suite was large and clean with comfortable beds. The office staff were pleasant and professional. I was initally assigined a back of the complex room, the location wasnt one that I wanted to come and go from. The office staff kindly exchanged it for a room in the front of the complex upon request. I was impressed considering the discounted expedia rate.
