The floor of the room we stayed in was filthy. I have photos to show it. We were there for six days. We called and asked that the floor be mopped and cleaned. After the first evening. We made our own beds because housekeeping would not show up until 3 to 4 in the afternoon. We asked for clean bed linens because the ones on one of the beds were dirty. The linens were never changed. We had to empty our own waste bins daily and beg housekeeping for towels and wash cloths daily or they were not replaced. We had a ground floor room and multiple times had to park up near the street and walk back and forth to our car cause there is not enough parking and no assigned parking. The only option if you found a parking spot near your room was to stay parked and walk or take the trolly because as soon as you moved someone else would grab your spot. I will certainly not stay there in the future. There are cleaner rooms with convenient parking that are much more reasonably priced.

Workers were very friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast should be a simple buffet style so you can eat quickly especially when the hotel is booked. There is no way to feed everyone efficiently. We only got one breakfast because the wait was so long. It was not the workers fault. It was the system management had in place.

The venue doesn't stack up to a Marriott quality, tribute hotel. It does have a fun, vibe in the office/restaurant area. The breakfast is very good and the mattress was exceptional. From there, it is downhill. The quality of furniture in the room feels Ikea, at best. A courtyard property has more luxury. My biggest complaint was the noise level. The insulation to the exterior is non-existent. The music is loud and plays from 4-10pm. The cars/motorcycles on the strip through town are revving their engines until 2am and when people walk by your room, you can hear every word they say. If you're looking for a hotel in the bustling part of town, it meets your need. If you're looking for Marriott quality comfort and a quiet place, this is not your property.

The property and rooms were cute. Restaurant staff were friendly and the food was good. The rooms could have been cleaner. There was a hair on the bathroom wall, mold or mildew on grout in the shower, and mascara on the bedroom mirror. The parking spaces near the rooms are compact with a dead end. If you drive a larger vehicle please park closer to the front of the property.
