Reviews and Ratings
Our stay at the hotel far exceeded our expectations and was perfect, especially with the adjoining room for our friends next door. The only downside was that the rooms at the distant ends of the halls were a bit out of our budget.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were nice and spacious, but the extra $50 per night for room service felt like a rip-off given the total cost. The location was convenient, away from the busy part of town, although not close to some key attractions. The service was top-notch, with super friendly staff, although the dining options were mediocre and not worth the cost.
The hotel rooms are on the smaller side, suitable for a family of four but feel a bit cramped compared to others like Hampton. Pricing is higher, and the little water park advertised comes at an additional cost. However, the location offers easy access to restaurants, shopping, museums, and shows but is more on the outskirts of town.
