Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Stayed at this location because it was within driving distance to HardRock just a couple minutes away and much more affordable than the HR. Only 2 issues we had with room; 1) commode sat really low, almost like something for a daycare, which was hard on us as elderly to get up from it with nothing to grab onto for assistance. 2) elevators in morning were crowded and delayed due to cleaning staff hauling carts while people were also checking out or going to get morning coffee etc. As pluses, staff was always at front desk and the Wi-Fi and TV in rooms were great! It’s also right next to Five Guys if you’re into hamburgers!

The room was clean and most of the staff was very pleasant. The breakfast attendant apparently was having a bad few days during our stay. The food was fine, but his attitude was not so great. The only other complaint that I could possibly have would be the water pressure for showers. It was difficult to rinse off properly.

My room wasn't ready by the time check in came around so they upgraded me to a suite even though I didn’t ask for it. That was super nice of them and was greatly appreciated. Room was clean and bed was comfy. This was our second time staying here and we will come back again.
