Everyone was friendly. Room was nice but just a couple of issues with the bathroom but not major. Breakfast was tasty but everything was cold but the coffee.

People forget phone chargers, may be keep a few handy (or add usb charging dongles to rooms as many other HIE have). The person in reception was well behaved but not very useful.

Watch out for extra fees! (Parking & security)
Started out rocky. Should have been notified of high security deposit BEFORE swiping card! I also thought it was high and a bit ridiculous to have to pay extra for parking. However, very good location and cleanliness was great. Nice spot by the pool to sit as well.

Had a lot of ants in our room. Felt itchy first night. Second night mentioned it and they did nothing. 3rd night said they would take care of it. Woke up the next day and seen more in bathroom and they finally moved us rooms.

It’s was very loud due to many drunken college kids yelling. The first night the yelling and hollering through the hall lasted past 5am. Keeping me up all night. The second and third night it was until 2 or 3 am

Booked a room in the interior of the property but was given one on the exterior. Open music bar across the street and they play until 1-2 am. Complained and asked to move rooms but was given ear plugs. Located in the same area as the homeless shelter and did not feel safe.

Front desk staff were extremely nice and helpful. I had a long travel day, so I decided to order room service… which was a really weird experience that I wouldn’t recommend. Otherwise great stay!
