If you enjoy warm or hot showers, this is not the hotel for you. I stayed here five nights and had five cold showers. I know stuff happens, so I let the front desk know. I was told by the assistant manager that he would send maintenance. Again, cold shower next day. I figured whatever he tried didn't work and let the assistant manager know again. Again, he said he would send maintenence. Well, long story short, it repeated every day. I asked nicely for them to do something to make it right, and they did absolutely nothing. Did not offer to switch rooms, did not offer points, they did absolutely nothing.

Breakfast good & different each day. Had to make my own bed & garbage was not emptied. It’s an 8 floor modern building with comfortable beds & is very quiet. Sadly for such a large hotel it only has 4 handicap parking places so you might have to park in the back 40 like me.

Some negatives that would keep us from staying there again: 1) Due to the design of the shower door, you cannot turn on the water and adjust the temperature before getting in 2) The toilet paper holder was literally behind you while seated, and the roll would keep sliding off the holder. Very bad design. 3) there was no bathroom fan, causing the mirror to fog up and wouldn’t unfog without opening the door and letting it air out. 4) Our room on the 4th floor had a lot of traffic noise from the freeway all night long.

There's a young lady on the front desk team that's so rude and flippant, never seemed interested in helping to resolve anything. Made the whole stay awful. Housekeeping also would lie that they cleaned room on request when they didn't. When you try to ask them about cleaning, they'd claim "no english". So no way to even request cleaning. Management didn't seem to care. Stayed one week, requested housekeeping twice, both times ignored, bed bugs also in bed. So another person leaving for the same bugs.
