Disliked: Staff & service
When I booked my room according to the pics we were supposed to be in a suite that had a separate living room and bedroom, but they put us in a room that combined the two and said since we booked through a third party (Expedia) that they couldn't put us in the room that we actually booked. Not only did we get screwed over upon check-in, the hotel itself had rates directly through them that were $75 cheaper per night. The hotel staff was completely unwilling to change us to the room that I had booked through Expedia. Of course always some loophole BS

Thank you for your feedback. Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience. However upon further reviewing your reservation. We accommodate the room you reserve which was a suite, king bed. We can not modify reservations that were made with 3rd parties. The staff acknowledge your concern but advise you to contact the 3rd party for changes at check in.We hope you will give us an opportunity to make it up to you in the future. Stay Safe!

Five Stars!
Hotel is clean and modern. Beds and pillows are AAA super comfortable and fresh. My granddaughter called it a princess bed it was so comfortable. Breakfast food was hot every morning and delicious. Mrs. Kylie was so kind and friendly @ breakfast. I would have appreciated them making our bed each day but they did not. So close to everything shopping and felt safe at night coming and going with children. We truly enjoyed our time and facilities. Five stars for this hotel

It was very clean. Nice breakfast buffet. Room needs a clock. Had to call about some bogus charges on our credit card. Personnel on phone was nice and said the charges would be removed but it’s takes days for that to happen. Not too happy.
