The hotel is very modern and clean. They just need to update the mattress. I could not sleep on the mush of a sagged out bed. Arms kept falling asleep and had to sleep at the foot of the bed or we felt like we were upside down.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. I'm so sorry to hear about the mattress in your room causing you to not sleep well. Our mattresses are on the softer side, but we will certainly take a look at the one from your room to see if it needs to be changed out. We hope you choose to stay with us whenever you're in the area again!

No valet or help with luggage was offered. Parking is a short walk away in a parking garage. I requested extra towels on the first night and never received them. On the second day, the maid replaced 2 bath towels, did not supply the extra towels, and neglected to replace the wash cloths.

Thank you so much for providing your feedback, as disappointing as it is to hear about the service failures from our Housekeeping team. I will discuss your review with Housekeeping management to make sure this is corrected for the future, as this is certainly not the experience we want to provide for our guests. I sincerely apologize, and hope you will give us another chance in the future.

We enjoyed dining at the Bistro. Food was delicious and reasonably priced if sticking to burguers and sandwishes. The pool was not warm enough for me, but might be for most people. Also, the pool is far away from the elevators. Very cold indeed. Gym was very good. Room was comfortable and clean. We had trouble with the table outlet's connectivity. I also expected a microwave and there was none. Do your research when comparing prices. I booked the most affordable double room. On hindsight, a "flashy" hotel that charges for everything.Turned out it didn't include breakfast and I had to pay $15 dollars for parking. Not happy about that. Overall an ok experience.

We're glad you enjoyed the delicious and affordable food at the Bistro, particularly the burgers and sandwiches. We appreciate the kind words Graciela!We understand your concerns about the pool temperature and location. We will definitely consider guest feedback like yours to ensure the pool maintains a comfortable temperature for most guests.We're happy to hear you found the gym to be well-equipped and the room clean and comfortable. However, we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the lack of a microwave in your room. Please note for future stays that a public microwave is available on the lower level next to the vending machines. Your point about hidden fees is understandable. While breakfast and parking fees are common practices in many hotels, we recognize the importance of transparency. We'll strive to ensure all potential charges are clearly communicated upfront during the booking process.Overall, we appreciate your feedback and understand that your experience was mixed. We are committed to continuously improving our services and amenities to offer our guests a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Phenomenal rate for such a wonderful hotel. It was nice to have the option of dining on site, thought we only used it for breakfast the following day (included with our stay). Roomy and comfortable, we slept like babies. Loved the “rain shower” in the bathroom and roomy enough to dry my 9yr old w/o banging into the wall. Bonus to be able to order amenities we missed: mouthwash, toothpaste online. The pool was warm and my daughter was basically in there by herself both times. No frill, and not too deep. She thoroughly enjoyed spending the extra time in there with our late checkout, thanks to the staff at reception. Breakfast was great with a la carte and buffet option, luckily we option to take away as we wanted to get more pool time in before checkout. There were 2 restaurants within walking distance from the hotel but we felt like sushi and it was only 8min drive away. We would recommend as well return to this location should we return to the area in the future. Great for family or business travel…would be more convenient with a vehicle. Only constructive feedback would be to post signs by the entrance advising registration parking is en route out etc.
