Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a mixed experience with dirty rooms at the start but spacious for our group of five. The amazing room setup balanced out with normal amenities. The service was commendable overall, except for not enforcing quiet hours and some cleanliness issues. The location was a chaotic convenience next to the freeway but with various nearby facilities. The dining was exceptional, especially the free breakfast, though some items were unavailable. The hotel facilities were decent.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. Although the rooms were spacious and comfortable, it took an hour for mine to be cleaned, which was quite unprofessional. On the bright side, the room smelled and looked clean, and it was a nice size. The service was exceptional, with the staff being very kind and friendly, even providing a partial refund due to the inconvenience. The location was convenient, right next to the freeway, offering easy access to various amenities and attractions. However, the dining experience had its ups and downs, being good on some mornings but lacking in quality on others. On the whole, it was a decent stay with some notable highlights and a few setbacks.
The hotel was very clean and spacious, ideal for families. The pool was perfect for kids, although more geared towards them. The bed was comfortable, and the walk-in shower was amazing. However, the room was too small for four people, and the full kitchen promised online was not available.
