Jennifer, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The check-in experience wasn’t ideal. I showed up about an hour early and understood that my room wasn’t ready and just waited in lobby. Then other guests arrived and were all getting checked in immediately to their rooms. Finally after 15 min of waiting after the check in time I went to counter and was able to check in. Not sure how they missed we waiting in lobby when there was only 1 other person besides me waiting. Also, tv was not working in the bed area. Other than the above, hotel still a nice place to stay.

Average hotel

The bed was too hard, the bathroom was good. It has a great shower. The room was spacious. The balcony felt like it was falling. Not many channels to choose from on the t.v. Overall, it was an okay place to stay.
