This property advertises as "pet friendly" but it is not ! When I checked in I was informed that it was a $ 40 a NIGHT per pet fee. I stay with pets all of the time and have never had such an expensive fee. The women at the desk then told me to make sure my dogs never bark barking is not permitted! The pet fee is hidden in the fine print on their ad. When checking out they refused to give me a printed receipt . I would not recoms staying here

Pretty much exactly what I expected. A hotel close to my event, but not much else. But again what I was looking for as I wasn’t a tourist, I was in town on business and this was a great choice. One I will make again and again as long as I keep going to that event.

It really could have been a better stay. Although the room was clean, it was a very dated room. The room in the photos at the time of booking was not the room I reserved. The photo had a his and hers sink in the bathroom. The room I got was a one sink bathroom. The jetted tub was nice but was dated and had some chipping and looks like rust is starting. The mini fridge also had cracks in the base, not a very good presentation. The pillows on the bed were very warn out and small. I did try to ask for bigger pillows but was told they are all the same size. The mattress we had needed to be replaced. It was sunken in the middle to a point that when lying down on the side it felt Iwas lying on a steep hill. It really dampered the stay. I challenge management to try to use that mattress for a night to see if it is worthy of a suite. The breakfast lay out was very good with lots of options both hot and cold, and the presentation was clean. Its too bad that there was not that much pride put into the actual room.

Good day. When calling the property to arrange the airport shuttle (as advertised). I was informed that the shuttle was not available. To my fault I assumed it wasn't available due to the late hour of or check in. My family then requested a rideshare. Upon arrival to the hotel the disposition in which we were greeted was poor. I requested the business card of their GM Mr. Patel to state my dissatisfaction. I posed my question again for the morning airport shuttle. We were informed that the driver was on vacation and no shuttle will be provided. I was truly disappointed that staffing was not restructured in the absence of a team member. Would I stay or recommend this property ... sadly to say not. Sincerely, Lakeisha Beach

We were there briefly before catching an early morning flight but from what I observed the place was clean and the staff friendly. The ice machine on our floor was out of order but the one downstairs worked. No other complaints from us.

The Management was always available and ever so helpful. Especially when I had a problem with my rental car that became unsafe to drive and had to be towed. The manager made sure it was done and took possession of the keys since I had to catch a flight before the tow truck was able to retrieve the car. Kudos BW!!!
