Summary: State of Art!!!

Kristy Sep 27, 2025 10:12:46 AM

Summary: Staff seemed burned out on customers. My room at check in was pretty nasty on the couch (dried crusty food n huge stains between n under couch cushions). Mattress covers are worn out n discolored n not the kind that protect the mattress n guests from other peoples body stuff . Looked like what my grandma would have for 30 years. Staff clusters n talks at front desk n it feels uncomfortable to have to interrupt to ask anything like when the times are for the wine served at night , where ice is, if i can switch towels out… after the room reclean it was fine i just didnt feel welcome or liked . I travel 230 -240 days a year - ive not ever left a review commenting on unwelcoming staff- it needs to be said . Three stand n talk at counter to eachother though . Lobby was very clean . Gym was good.

Summary: The hotel itself looks good, with clean modern styling. The room was very nicely appointed, and the kitchenette area was very impressive with more features than expected. The first problem was that the air conditioning wasn’t working welland hardly any air was blowing. The air was damp and stale. The A/C filter was extremely dirty and hadn’t been changed for a long time. We unscrewed the cover over the air conditioner and removed the air filter which helped immensely. The AC worked well after that, although it was very loud. The real issue became in the early morning hours when delivery trucks arrived at nearby areas. The beeping from their backup warnings was extremely loud through the windows, so much that it woke me up. Then, as soon as people started waking up and going through the hallway, the noise was unbearable. The door slamming of adjacent rooms was extremely loud, and just normal talking in the hallway was easily overheard in the room. The windows and hallway doors definitely need much more soundproofing. Breakfast was better than most similar hotels, and they even have a chef that prepares simple eggs and avocado toast. Unfortunately, the noise through the windows and doors was too much to make me want to stay at this hotel again.
