As everyone says, this place, in spite of the mushy beds and unnecessary $20/day parking fee (that isn’t shown on the Expedia price, deceptively hidden) and breakfast that ends — conviently for them at 9am, this place is still excellent. Well designed, quiet, not fancy but perfectly adequate for the businessperson it looks to have been built for.

I enjoyed the cleanliness of the property. Rooms were clean, new, and functional. It never felt crowded. Staff at front desk was helpful. but calls were not answered. Our TV kept shutting off every like 2 min. due to a faulty room key? My girls enjoyed their time at the hotel pool. The continental breakfast was generously stocked with delicious items for everyone, even picky eaters. The room was quiet except on Sat. morning, it was garbage pick up day at 7am apparently. I really liked the scent of the shampoo, conditioner, & body wash provided in the eco friendly large bottles in the rr. Restaurants were close by such as Panera and McDonalds, Starbucks, ect.

An alarm went off in our room and it took about an hour for them to send someone up to fix the alarm. They wouldn’t answer the front desk phone had to go downstairs to speak to someone and 30-45 mins later I called again was put on hold for about 10 mins all this before someone showed up to fix it. When we arrived we go stuck in the elevator with another guest and it took them a while to pick up the help line. We got the room with hotels.com for $219 and were charged $270 when we arrived. We didn’t have time to go elsewhere so we paid the extra charge still have not received a receipt for our stay from them. Never had a problem with a Hilton branch before so this was a bit annoying.
