As much as I see the effort provided to me there services go as far as to place a tipping envelope for room service Because even staff is underpaid just as the 2 bunnies outside playing looked starved. I refused to buy breakfast due to everything being ridiculously overpriced for just one night and I must state that the Fairfield Marriott hotel which is half the price did a way better job in terms of quality, price and breakfast IS FREE.

The floor in room was falling apart. The plastic tiles were all loose. This is a health hazard and dirt and bacteria is trapped under the tiles. Invest some money and clean up the room floor.

Seriously go to Google reviews and see my full review (starts off with "a dumpster for the price") with photos. This Expedia review form has a very low character limit. Pubic hairs all over the sheets, dirty room, LOTS of noise constantly, RUDE staff. It's worth it to go see the details. STAY AWAY.

We really enjoyed our stay and love the walking trails around the area. And a Blue Bike station is just two minutes away. Room was quiet except for the hall way. We hears a couple of long conversations that didn’t need to occur in the hallway. Not sure for a solution for this though. The amount of coffee packets in the room needs to improve. First night there was only one regular and one decaf packet. Most places have 2 of each. And after room cleaning, only 1 packet of each again. Not fun to have to go to the front desk for coffee, first thing in the morning.

Look our stay was great overall but listen, for $400 plus per night you would think water would be free but no. They give you two mini bottles in the room which lasted us about 20 minutes. Then I asked if they could send more water up. No they said, so I went down hoping I could get a couple smaller bottles, nope. They said I could either drink SINK WATER or pay $4 for warm Dasani water. SMH
