- RRRayDec 10, 20255.0Mary went above and beyond to help us with our rental car stains, great service. Rooms were very clean as well. Parking is $15 a night though 😫
- JRJ RasNov 21, 20255.0The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful during my stay. Akio whom works in the morning buffet area was very kind, kept up with keeping things full. He is a great employee your very fortunate to have him. (Hopefully I'm spelling his name correctly.)
- MAMara AllenNov 18, 20255.0This hotel delivers all that you would expect from a HI. The small fitness centre has good well maintained equipment. The pool looked inviting and had we been staying longer we would have tried it. The room was clean and the furnishings were contemporary. The breakfast was plentiful if lacking in fresh fruit. Staff were nice and would do what ever they could for you.
