People @ the front desk are nice in front of us (3 ) but when we left all the good stuff that we requested over the phone before we left USA, ( Microwave, robes etc.) and when we check in on the day of our arrival was forgotten. Seems like they got hit with Tornado over their head and lost their mind and memories. The woke up after 2 days when i called them about those stuff. BAD !!! treatment of customers. We travelled around the world, the 1st time I encountered this kind of service. I hope this message will help the entire management to make a change/s. We don't look rich personally but we can afford to lived in America and travelled at the same time, if that was the reason why ? all their promises that we are entitled anaway has forgotten for 2 days after we got their. I don't like to make a negative reviews but this is another way to help you guys to have more costumers. Thank you. have a great day Belen

We liked the location and services the property has. No being downtown but walking distance to downtown was a plus for us. The room was OK, but for a "Superior Suite" as they call it, there was nothing Superior to it. Some equipment at the Room was not functioning well and had to be changed.

Overall our stay was comfortable. The staff was very responsive and helpful with all our requests. The lodge anticipated our large group and the sofa beds were turned down for us and made. The kitchenette amenities was well used for the 4 days we stayed. The room and living space was cozy. However, the room could use some sound proofing and perhaps an adequate privacy curtain in our room. The blinds does let some light in and other guests could also see on the edges of the window where the blinds don'tquite cover. When your room is directly in front of the parking lot, it would be nice to have more privacy. Also, one of the sofa bed had a very overused mattress, it was so uncomfortable to sleep on. Overall though it was a good stay and still recommend it to large groups but perhaps not for folks who are sensitive to sound.
