The property was great, the only negative was the service desk person that was on duty 6/27/2025 @ approximately 430 pm. Basically I asked for 6 extra pillows due tonight have a toddler and wanted to form a barrier in the bed so he doesn't fall, the service desk gentlemen told me " absolutely not! Maybe 2 or 3 but definitely not 6!" It's absurd that a hotel that size doesn't have 6 extra pillows. Very rude and condescending.

"Suite w living area" was nothing more than a room with a pullout couch. There also was no fan in the bathroom, the internet wasn't working the first night, and the ice machine was not working. Not a great experience and certainly I overpaid vs what was advertised.

Staff was good . Breakfast was good and warm. I think the the only thing I didn't like was nothing to do with hotel or staff, it was maybe me,and the area seemed safe, only I found it hard to find , small sign at entrance (area restriction maybe) and an island in street preventing left turn out of the place.It is quiet and the staff are good . Good enough that I would recommend it
