9/10 Wonderful! (2,001 reviews)
I was looking forward to our stay here, had high hopes as we have drove by before and always thought it looked like a fun place to stay. When we arrived (relatively late 10pm), the check in was fine. We went to our room and it looked as though someone stopped cleaning midway- the couch cushions were on the floor for the pull out sofa, the kitchen floor was sticky, like could hear it every time you moved your feet. But yet, the towels had been fixed up like it was clean? The trash can in the bathroom was even on top of the toilet and all the bathroom vanity drawers were pulled out. Maybe someone cleaned and someone else was supposed to come by and inspect but never did? I don't know but it felt incomplete and the kitchen floor was just nasty sounding and feeling. I wouldn't walk around without shoes on. I tried to call the front desk but there was no directions to get ahold of the desk on the phone and with it being late I resigned to dealing with it for the short duration. Again, I had wanted to like it, really did but I was not happy with the cleanliness of the room. Staff was pleasant anytime there were interactions but again short stay, maybe we just had a one off bad experience.
