I highly recommend this hotel and would stay again

The stay for my wife and I was great. The room was nice though there were a few scrapes and wallpaper peeling off in the bathroom. The cleaning lady was nice and we got our message across, but she could not understand my plain English very well. The service at the front desk was top notch! All 4 people I talked to were exceptional in there listening and assistance with my requests. I asked if I could put unfrozen blue ice containers in a freezer for the night before I returned home so that I could use them for the trip back in my cooler. Without hesitation, Shalla put them in a freezer and I picked them up the next morning before checkout. Thank you for that! I requested a receipt be sent by email, but it has not shown up? Everything else was great! Thx again.

Convenient to everything. The only issue I had was in the gym. Some guy came in the gym to work out and brough his 4 years old daughter who had to touch everything, including me.
