8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2026

The staff was very accommodating to our party and was able to upgrade my room so I could be next door to my 81 year old parents.

The room didn’t seem like it was cleaned well. After walking around on the floor without shoes, my sister’s socks were very dirty like the floor hadn’t been mopped in a while. The bathroom sink and tub looked dirty. Since we were in a room with a kitchenette, we thought there would be some basic items like plates, flatware, a pot or two to cook with. However, kitchen did not have those items. We did appreciate the full size fridge and microwave.

It was homey and comfortable.

Nothing. It was a bit awkward to know that some guests were permanent.

9 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026

Loved the location. Very spacious

I would’ve liked a coffee pot in the room. I did ask for one and I never got it. I also asked for a garbage bag for the room and I didn’t get it, but those are minor things all in all it’s all good.

Construction starting before the 8:00 quiet hour and we weren't made aware ahead of time.
