I think the property and the company in general earns enough money to be able to invest in improving the aspect of the hotel. The bathrooms and appliances are outdated, the tiles and floors should at least get a deep cleaning, and some towels and pillows should be replaced. Other than that what’s good about this hotel are the employees

No room was available before 4:00 pm even though I did online check in before 12:00 pm. The room was not clean at noon time. We ought to call the front desk to proceed with. The front desk people was friendly but the room, the hotel conditions are not worthy. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this property.

You couldn’t get out of the parking lot without buzzing into the hotel and it would take up to 15 minutes of waiting. They were having elevator issues constantly, had to take stairs to the 8th floor on several occasions.

Our room was not very clean. There was a lot of dust build up on obvious things that should be cleaned regularly. Our shower didn’t drain. We requested someone look at it and no one ever came. 2 out of 3 elevators were always down. We found the walking up to the 9th floor was faster then waiting for elevator and then stopping at every single floor. The staff was nice, but I would not stay there again.

Property was nice, was undergoing construction outside in the pavilion, but other than that it was a good stay. Room was nice and spacious, as was the bathroom. The room AC was loud, made a water dripping sound all the time that annoyed the hubby.

Great location if your plans are city walk or universal! Literally walking distance! The line to check in was horrible and the room key to get into the parking lot didn’t work. Breakfast was an added charge but we didn’t plan on eating in anyways. Tons of places on site to sit down and enjoy meals. We only stayed a night but if we stayed longer we’d of def enjoyed the amenities more. I’d def stay again. The price was awesome.
