Arrived to the hotel and checked in, get to the room and it looked like one of the beds had been laid in. Called the front desk they were very kind and offered a new room, so we swapped. Our biggest issue with the hotel was the scary parking garage. It was narrow, dark, damp, and someone was fixing a car down there and had it on jacks.

The hotel was very dirty and smelled musty. The most offensive part was the toilet - If you kept the seat up, water splashed everywhere when you flushed. If you put the seat down, water splashed on the cover and then back on the seat (there was a sizable gap), so the next time you went to sit, you'd be sitting in whatever you flushed last. We had to clean the toilet after every flush.

Could have been better
This is not a boutique Hotel ! It served its purpose for what we needed, which has a place to lay our head at night. I first started off with a good time. I have an issue customer service to correct whatever the problem was very friendly to the negatives the room key card need to be updated because the system that they have now is outdated and terrible. Most people’s wallets are on their phones. My room did not have a phone in it and when I asked you about that I have no idea I cannot call the front desk to tell them I need more towels or a blanket because there was no phone in my room and I tried to call my cell phone, but no one picked up. Over all my stay was a 6 out of 10

We were unable to stay due to illness and after multiple attempts between us and hotel.com staff we were unable to reach anyone at the site, neither was the corporate office able to get through to their own property. This speaks volumes to me and we were still charged. I will never book with any Ascend hotel again.

交通非常好，机场transit直达，我打了Uber，好吧我checkin完机场的transit也到了。评分不高，但是入住感觉完全可以接受，所以想写一些避免大家误会这家店。因为他坐火车太方便了。酒店后面有一家餐厅，牛尾做得好好，晚上九点多还满满都是人，热闹而有序。坐火车应该首选。
