"I enjoyed my corner suite. The staff was really friendly. The parking was super convenient for the hotel and the retail shops and restaurants in the area."
"Property location was great; however, despite their most recent refresh, it’s dated. Housekeeping skipped our room and when we called to request service, the front desk attendant insisted we must’ve had our “DND” sign on….we didn’t.
Hanick (sp?) was really nice at checkout."
"The worst hospitality experience ever. No dedication to commit on what promise during booking. They lied as they breath, instead of them handle the problem they delegate it to the customer. Bad customer experience, low grade place to let people paid $89/night. This shouldn't be on expedia platform."
