There was an option to text for questions, very convenient. I was able to get an early check in when I requested. Very happy about that.

This place is amazing. Definitely a home away from home. The staff is helpful and patient. The manager himself was super helpful and understanding. Everything down to the environment was just so calm and quiet. I will always come back here the next time I’m in need of a hotel.

Obviously after reading the comments they still haven't corrected the issue. The housekeeping needs to do better at thier jobs including the one in charge who is supposed to check the rooms after the employees clean them. Starting with our towels, it had long black hair and what looks to be pube hairs on them. The drawer between the bed still has open food in them... can cause infestation and a wine cork between the bed and end table. Behind the curtains is pink shoelaces. The kitchen counter had short black hair on it and food crumbs in the microwave. Im a blonde and my husband is bald so definitely not our hair. As you can see in the pictures below

Walked in the room it was pet hair on the counter by the coffee maker, hair all in the bathroom, blood on the wall, blood on the curtains and on the trash can in the bathroom. Tub was dripping and it was completely turned off. By the window on top of the a/c it was a good amount of water. The lady housekeeper we saw had her child with her, so how are you cleaning properly and watching your child. The gentleman that was cleaning the hallways and elevator was supper nice and so was the staff at the front desk. They just really need to get on housekeeping because they are DEFINITELY NOT DOING THEIR JOB!!!!!! Towels need to be checked before they are folded because we had 2 with hair on them JUST NASTY!!!!!! This would be a GREAT PLACE if they paid ATTENTION TO CLEANING DETAILS!!!!! The refrigerator didn't work but the freezer part did just needed to be clean along with the drawers that had dishes in them. Plus make sure the dishes are clean.
