"The hotel is the best one i have stayed at but also the most expensive one i stayed at. It was clean, bed was comfy, bathroom was nice. Room 1412 was quiet as it faced in inside. Parking is not free but 24 hours was $22, just pay the day parking because it is cheaper than paying the hotel fee of leaving and coming back."

"I don't usually write reviews I'm not gonna lie, But I had to write about the front desk host Akira & the older white gentlemen who drives the shuttle in the morning, My experience with them was AMAZING. They were so kind, answered any questions I had, showed care & patience to all members no matter their status which I admire a LOT as the night crew of other men made me very uncomfortable dismissing me & was very rude with their tone whilst giving me half answers but were kind & helpful with others who weren't of my racial background. There was one in particular who was giving an older gentle men a hard time because he didn't speak English this was on September 26th at around 4am so I hope that gets handled. But to Akira & The older white man I hope you guys have a BLESSED life."
