I was really disappointed with my stay. The back door didn’t work, which made getting in and out inconvenient and raised some safety concerns. The staff was unhelpful, and when I tried to connect to WiFi for work, I couldn’t get it to work. I called for support several times, but someone just picked up and hung up each time. The breakfast was poor, and the room had an unpleasant smell. On top of that, there were people wandering around the parking lot, which didn’t make me feel very secure. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this property.

The Gym is awful, treadmill has been down for months, no flat bench. The rooms are decent but it seems like every other room I’ve stayed in has a random beeping sound. The back door doesn’t work, the staff seems more interested is socializing or social media to care about their jobs. The WiFi support is useless, so don’t bring any gaming devices. Seems like they are only interested in cleaning one coffee machine so prepare to wait 5 minutes or so for a cup of coffee in the mornings. But hey, at least I got a letter from the manager thanking me for staying
