I rented the entire Swann House for the wedding party and close family members for my daughter’s wedding and it was a simply great choice! I love old houses with great character and Swann House definitely offers that Each room is unique and the common areas are comfortable But what was most outstanding was the staff – Isabelle and Sasha in particular went so far beyond what I would have expected that by the end of out stay I felt like they were part of our family! Those who have commented on the condition of the house must not understand that an old house will never be perfect – it will always have its quirks and imperfections – that is what makes an old house unique and interesting

Our entire party of 22 people simply loved our stay at Swann House!

Mercy Harper

Loved our stay at this charming and unique spot! Innkeeper Sashi greeted us with “Welcome home!” and was so hospitable, accommodating, and full of great recommendations The Regent is a perfect room for a romantic getaway The price is actually quite reasonable for the location, amenities, and cool factor

As you will see in the other reviews, this place isn’t for everyone If you want everything in your life to be standard, safe, and as-expected, you might be happier elsewhere This place is for the artists, the romantics, the adventurers, the hippies, and the punks!

Quinelle Bethelmie

I wish I could give 0 starts My friends and I were very excited to stay at the Swann House My friends had come in from out of town and thought the place was very cute and I was excited to support a local business

However, on the day of my stay, they changed the room that I booked due to repairs, and none of the advertised amenities were available, and as I’ve tried to request a refund they’ve made various excuses about why I shouldn’t get one Had they been more amenable I would have considered giving it a second chance But, when we arrived the place was deserted, and it’s no wonder why their business is declining I was incredibly disappointed with the service, the lack of consideration, and the blatant disrespect to our agreement

A very nice hotel with a large indoor pool, great dining facility, and comfortable suites The location of Bethesda Embassy Suites makes it extremely convenient for going to DC, northern Virginia, and Maryland locationsI especially appreciated the friendly and courteous staff, who started my day with a cheerful smile and a wonderful breakfast

They continued this as they greeted my return and supported my requests A Manager’s reception in the early evening helped ease the stress of the day or provided a change to help one wind downThe experience I had was shared by the hundreds of guests that were there at the same time I was I saw the staff interact with everyone in the same manner and you know the had equally comfortable and clean roomsSo come and stay at one of the DC area’s best hotels You’ll enjoy it, I’m certain

sharon fritts

We stayed at Embassy suites because my husband had to have facial reconstruction We had to stay 5 nights The location was great, close to the medical facility

The room was comfortable Berta, at the front desk, was very kind and helpful She was exceptional at her job, all of the staff seemed very good at whatever job they did The breakfast was wonderful, the breakfast team was AMAZING We are very pleased with our recent stay

Javier Mejia

Positives: Big and comfortable rooms, enough set of towels The breakfast offered is pretty good There is a good food variety and the products offer are of high quality

The room also had a good viewNegatives: The first night I had to kill a spider, and I didn’t had soap for my hands I also had to tell them twice to send a housekeeper to do room service

the inside was redone recently and is very nice The outside is a bit of a deterrent If I was driving by I would not go in

But once in the door the lobby, room, and amenities are really nice The service at the Coffee Bar was perfect The woman that served us was Awesome and not to mention we left at 11pm and returned at 8am and she was back!!!! What dedication

Brian L

I feel for the most part that Courtyard in itself just kind of rides off the Marriott name and this one is no exceptionPRO’s – The hotel main floor is very clean, has ample lounge spots and overall very inviting The inside fireplace is very nice and welcoming

The little store off from the front desk is super convenient (also ridiculously expensive) The rooms have been updated(ish) with comfortable beds, new sofas, carpet yet out of place looking furniture with an early 90s persona Room service was great and they replenish with more than enough towelsCONS – The Bistro in the morning is the worst Bistro of all the Marriotts I’ve been to in the last ten years and I’ve been to ALOT The Bistro “opens” at 6:30a through the week and my rewards include free breakfast everyday Would’ve been awesome if someone was actually there at 6:30 and ready to serve Nope 6:40? Nope! Half the time closer to 7am and the poor guy from the front desk has to come over there and do the Bistro employees job BECAUSE THEY DONT SHOW UP ON TIME, CONSISTENTLY!! The food is also way overpriced for what you get, I mean…over $4 for a small bottle of water? Is this hotel THAT broke? Front desk guy needs a raise as he was doing everyone’s job most mornings, by himself The floor hallways are very long and creepy as in new carpet yet odd looking wood doors out of the 80s The keyless cards don’t work half of the time The toilet takes five flushes just to get a piece of toilet paper to actually go down Water pressure is horrible and takes ten minutes to try and get all the soap off you in the shower Undersized room TVs and only two USB ports in the whole room and those two are on top of the alarm clock The outside of the hotel is cringe and unwelcoming The grounds need major focus and look overall unkempt Killed multiple spiders in the room throughout my stay The pillows are way to flat and unsupportive Took all five of them together just to make one good one that kept my neck straight One washer and one dryer for the entire hotel that look like the first whirlpools ever invented and did not wash nor dry good at all Stairwell carpets are stained and you aren’t sure if you’re climbing stairs in a state prison or a hospitalOverall, the lobby felt more like a Marriott while everything else felt like a nice Motel 6 If you’re passing through for the night and traveling alone than this will suffice but don’t expect much because the hotel just doesn’t offer much and the staff is just kinda “there” I will most definitely not be staying with this hotel again and will not book it for any of my employees going forward

The Maldonado’s

Great location and amenities Morton’s is one of my favorites, and they are located in many nice hotels like this one Make sure you visit on the evening

Our tour had breakfast arrangements, missed the eggs on the last two mornings of the trip To their credit, staff was kind, attentive and accommodating Starbucks in the house too (for those Cafe lovers like us) Safe “business” area, and parking is just around the corner Modern feel with plenty to do around the hotel

Eva S

It’s a good business hotel, quiet standard, could be any brand really Pros and cons below:PROS:Large spacious room with nice expansive views onto the main street, gets good light during the day Comfy bed

There’s a desk to work at if need be Nice staff at the hotel, very accommodating and caring Very clean, good observation of covid rules etc Food served during the event was good too, tasty, good temperature- I recommend the current kitchen staff can certainly cater for breakfast tooAreas to IMPROVE:No breakfast, no pool/spa; the air in the hotel was so dry most event delegates were complaining about difficulty to sleep at night, myself included – I strongly recommend to get lots and lots of green plants, maybe install some air humidifiers for the winter months The shower head was full of limescale – need to check those details and replace Maybe add a picture(s) in the room, some softer interior details – interior now looks so sterile, plain

Mitch Grussing

We visited DC for leisure, and we felt that this hotel was the perfect balance of convenience, comfort, and value Driving in from out of town, it was easy to get to this hotel by car, and the Metro stop made it easy to get to all the big sights around the capital Our rooms were clean and nice, and the bed was comfortable

Yes, you have to pay for breakfast here, but there are tons of options nearby, including several in the lobby I was perfectly happy with Starbucks and Dunkin; my husband and his parents sought fancier eats in the morning The only bummer was that there’s no pool and hot tub But still I’d give the place a full five stars because we were truly satisfied with this hotel

Perfect location for a couples getaway The Oaks is in a quiet neighborhood but also fairly close to shopping and entertainment areas Breakfast was really nice – 5 star meal! The owner was very personable and provided anything we needed

Nothing better than having a wine and cheese “Happy Hour” right downstairs from our room We really enjoyed our stay!

Pamela Hughes

Nestled in a beautiful neighborhood, The Oaks Bed and Breakfast doesn’t loom large over the other homes around it When you see it, you’d think it was just one of the many single homes in the area The overall lay out of The Oaks was perfect

The hosts Sharon and Quinton were fantastic, pleasant and very helpful!The entry way is very inviting and we were met with beautiful music when we entered The dining room, living room and sitting room are uniquely decorated and felt like homeI love that each bedroom has a theme and an en-suite bathroom I slept in the Zinfandel Room and found it be calming with a very comfortable bed It was well equipped with all of your needs and spotlessThe outdoor space is great! My favorite was the rooftop deck where I was able to enjoy the sun during the day and the moon and clouds at night The outdoor space in the back is a great place to hold a number of any intimate gatheringsI will end with the breakfast prepared by the hosts It was cooked with love! It was beautiful displayed in the dining room and we had a wide variety of food and beverages to choose fromIt was a great relaxing weekend getaway and I look forward to visiting again!

A Straightforward ReviewContext:-I booked 2 rooms for 5 nights-I called the manager of the property for clarification about earlier reviews-I am a Diamond Member with HiltonExperience:-I arrived at 4:28 and one room was not ready and was told that the 3p Check-in is not a guarantee-I was given an accessible room since there was no ETA of my room being ready-The AC in the room did not cool the room till a full 24 hours-Both rooms had an odor that never left throughout the entire stay One room smelled of fish and the other one of stale air

I had housekeeping and the front desk make repeated attempts to fix the situation-the shower did not drain-there was a towel shortage therefore for our last nights stay neither room had enough towel supplies for us to all bathe properly (that was after asking the front desk for assistance)-the dogs above us barked for hours without skipping a beat This happened for 3 days whenever the owner would leave ( I did ask for front desk assistance)-elevator looked to have had spots of animal urine-the AC in the hallway was not working-neighbors screaming throughout the night in the room that did not have the dogs-the Internet worked for 3 of the 5 days We had to use our phones to tether to other devicesStaff:-The staff was kind and ready to help-The staff sympathized with concerns but had no help for any of the above situations-I called the Diamond Service desk and asked for a possible transfer to another property and they hung up on me after a 55 minute phone callConclusion:I have lived in foreign countries and understand that these complaints are minimal in the scope of humanity, however if you are looking for an experience… I believe this is not the hotel experience you are looking for I came to this location for a vacation for a birthday getaway and unfortunately I do regret this decision If you are a family staying over a couple of nights, I do believe the staff is very kind and will give you a good experience, but the property itself I would rate closer to a Best Western Plus experience and not a Hilton experience

Rachael Davis

We got a 2 queen bed and 1 sleeper sofa room for 2 adults and 4 kids We weren’t planning on spending much time in our room so it was perfect for us Upon check in the room was clean and well prepared

However, no room cleaning services were provided the 3 days we were there We had no where to place dirty towels, no replenishing of soaps or coffee/tea When we went to the front desk to request more towels and ask about their room cleaning services, they said they only clean the rooms on the 5th day of someone being in the room? How is that sanitary? They did give us a few more towels but that was it We had a complaint about the room next to us blaring music and essentially throwing a party rather late in the evening We called the front desk and they said they’d handle it, but nothing was resolved until we called the room directly and requested they turn down their music Then, at no fault of their own the fire alarms went off in the building but there was no explanation provided for this At checkout, they didn’t even ask how our stay was or seek out feedback They checked to make sure our room was paid for and then literally turned away and began talking to other staff thereSome things we did like were the fact that we didn’t have to pay for the 4 kids The breakfast that is provided was good There appeared to be a lot of things available to guests there but we didn’t get to check them out

Wendy Mills

I was a little skeptical especially after reading some of the negative reviews but I am glad I went ahead and stayed here anyways The front desk reception for the PM shift was great I forgot to get her name but she was so friendly and so helpful I felt very welcomed

Room was clean and breakfast selection was a little minimal but I certainly didn’t expect a full breakfast spread Would definitely stay here again in my next trip to Gaithersburg!

Decent hotel The lobby is really flashy, unfortunately the rooms are quite dated, and mine had a weird smell The shower had some mildew on the floor, and of course the room had an old carpet on the floor as most hotels do

At least the rooms were bigThe on site restaurant had a decent selection of food and beverages, I had the salmon for dinner and it was pretty good I also had breakfast in the restaurant and they did not have the buffet set up, I ordered parfait with granola and fruit and it was good! Main gripe was that they charged for coffee and juice, and quite a lot, so the whole ticket got quite expensive for a really simple breakfast The executive lounge was closed too which was a bit if a bummerOverall it was a decent stay, definitely stayed in worse hotels

Matt Winn

Our stay at the hotel was extremely disappointing On the first night, there was continuous noise until 1am Part of that noise was the hotel staff loudly opening and closing doors up and down our hallway and running a vacuum cleaner which they also carelessly slammed into the door/wall outside our room

When we asked the staff member with vacuum to stop, he refused Part of the noise was rowdy activity in the hallway, which the staff did nothing about despite multiple requests Even later in the week, young people were running around and yelling in the hallways because there is no atmosphere of civility or control by the staff It was very disruptiveOur stay was also disappointing because basic amenities were broken, unavailable, or held at cost For example, the convenient location next to the metro was spoiled because upon return, the door back into the hotel was locked and the card key access was not operational We asked to use a microwave and were told that it would be a $10 extra charge – really? At the price we were spending – which did not even include any room cleaning – it is insulting to me that you’d try to milk even more money out of us for something that could have been set up and finished in 5 minutesConsidering the hotel itself was responsible for these disappointing factors in our stay, I regret paying for the room and don’t think it will be a good idea to return, even though I plan to return to Rockville many times in the future

Teresa Buchanan

This is a conference hotel but it’s also perfect for business travelers Things I loved: super fast elevator, simple interior parking, Starbucks, great bartender and kind front desk people, good work space in the room (huge desk chair), fabulous pillows, every store you need within walking distance, close to DC, AND across the street from a metro stop and regular sized grocery store (Safeway!) My FAVORITE thing? It was So

Quiet!!! Slept great!

The Omni DC is a wonderful place to stay while visiting our nation’s Capital As a guest, It is not uncommon to run into our political leaders, or dignitaries, as many of them have meetings inside the hotel The old world charm of the hotel, is not lost to mismanagement, or poor upkeep

It’s truly one of a kind I would recommend this place to anyone It’s so close to so much, and has some of the most beautiful surrounding streets, large bridges, and enormous towering trees ; that so much of the city has lost with the rapid development The staff is also very knowledgeable, courteous, and will go out of their way to see you are enjoying your stay The rooms are spacious, and clean, there is a great little cafe, as well as a restaurant that serves very traditional breakfast My only complaint, would be that the magnet keys are very easily deprogrammed, so if you can take one piece of advice, don’t let your phone, or any other cards near your key card Lastly their is a plethora of good, inexpensive restaurants just a stones throw away, as well as a CVS and an exquisite liquor store, that offers a wide assortment of wine and spirits I could go on about this hotel, I suggest you just give it a visit yourself I almost forgot about the pool… Great way to relax and take in some of the natural beauty, while basking in the midday sun By

Mandy Cluff

Staff was top notch My flight arrived early, with luggage I opted to go straight to hotel, the front desk was amazing Got me checked in early with a smile and a promise of getting me taken care of

The room was large and gorgeous, very clean, bed was super comfortable I walked the beautiful grounds, read outside and had a nice afternoon I was staying for a conference- all meeting spaces and meals were well done The staff was always right there when needed at any level From the doorman, concierge, front desk, housekeeping, wait staff, maintenance not one passed by without a friendly smile or a hello My stay was amazing, can’t wait to return

Michelle Olson

We could not have been more pleased with our stay at this hotel! Upon arrival we were met with a friendly greeting from the doormen Our bags were brought up by the bellman within 30 seconds of entering our room From that moment, every employee that we had contact with was friendly & helpful! David at the concierge desk had so much knowledge of the area & was able to get us a dinner reservation at a wonderful restaurant

The gym has a wide variety of machines The outdoor pool was clean & well maintained I also like that the hotel is right next to the trails at Rock Creek park, the Metro is a block away, the zoo is a three block walk (or $2 bus ride) & there are numerous restaurants to choose from a block away My only complaint would be that the bathroom counter was small but that is what you get in a historic hotel

Loudoun Escape is an amazing home It was so much room we truly enjoyed ourselves We didn’t want to leave! We enjoyed the theater room as well as the all the smart features the home had available

We took advantage of the work out equipment in the garage as well as the equipment in the workout room Bobby was very helpful He sent us thank you treats which was much appreciated If you are looking for an escape this is the place to book!

Anne Knudsen

* Exceptionally attentive and responsive host Could tell that Bobby wanted our stay to be just as special as we wanted it to be! Such a joy to work with!* Spacious and beautiful house… open and great flow!* Extremely well-appointed home-away-from-home!* Fabulous gourmet kitchen!* Luxurious touches that “warm” you from the outside-in! 😉* Multiple options for group gatherings – family room off kitchen, the pool table/open area upstairs, the home theatre and bar area downstairs, large formal dining room, etc* Beautiful home gym

* Garage parking* Quiet, lovely-manicured neighborhood* Easy, nice walk to One Loudoun (even in super cold weather, which was the case for my friends and me)* Personal Chef availability – for meals, happy hours, brunches, etc – which was SUCH a special treat for us! We chose the HAPPY HOUR Experience You rock, Chef Meagan!* Thank you, Bobby… so very much… for a truly fabulous, immensely memorable experience!

Marko Slijepcevic

Perfect house and perfect location House was clean and in great condition Really enjoyed the poker table and watching movies in the basement

The dumbwaiter came in handy too When it comes to customer service and communication, Bobby the property manager is the best I don’t think he ever sleeps cuz he responds to messages so fast and at all hours

I had my room canceled at another hotel and had to drive to this hotel When I arrived for an early check in, the front desk clerk (Mr Addy I believe) did an exceptional job easing my check in process

He made sure (on his own) that I had an available room and my wife and daughter was able to get some needed rest Great hotel to stay in and when I am back in town again, I know where I will be stayingBest

Raimy beau

For a Sheraton it is not very clean The towels were not very clean But for the price it’s not bad

I paid for breakfast for four days and I only went one day I ordered two egg tortillas and they were fried in butter, but they seemed like they were drowned in that oil I really liked the location, it looks very quiet and is next to some very nice apartments

rennae francis

First things first, they need to remove the pool as an amenity on their booking sites When we arrived, we inquired about the pool and the host stated it was closed due to covid How could that be when the gym was open 24/7? Gym is really small but has enough quipment do get a decent workour

We stayed in a room on the 5th floor Decent size Lacks modern upgrades such as usb charging or just plain outlets at the nightstands Other than that, everything was fine The food laid out in the morning near the elevators were great They have onsite laundry services and also free parking I’d stay there again

As a marriott platinum member, I was treated no better than other customers or even worse Was there ona business trip and the room charges supposed to be charged to the company credit card instead of mine However, they charged everything to my card although the company already authorized for all the charges to be put on their card

When I reached out to them they were not helpful or responsible Customer specialist Juliana James did not respond to my email after several attempts Definitely did not expect this kind of service and this is very disappointing for a Marriott brand

J Taylor

Nice place, excellent location with lots to do – you can easily walk to Dave & Busters arcade, go see a movie, or visit the bookstore and Target Sheets and room smelled very clean!We left a whole bag of kid’s stuff that included an AC adapter to a Nintendo

super valuable to a 7 year old and really nobody elsethe amazing maid promptly returned everything to the front desk and we were able to retrieve a few hours later Thank you

I’ve stayed at Courtyard by Marriott Gaithersburg a few times during the pandemic It is located in the heart of Washingtonian Rio and is a short walk to the movie theater, restaurants, and shops They have a small parking lot to the side of the hotel for guest registration and unloading

Additional parking is available in the retail parking garages The check-in and check-out process was smooth When I checked in, they told me about their weeknight happy hour from 5-10pm with discount on beer and wine and handed me a small flyer with guest information about their bistro, fitness center, housekeeping, and parking If theyoffered complimentary coffee and tea throughout the day and night to guests and two complimentary water bottles to their Elite rewards members, I’d give them 5 starsThe bistro located on the 2nd floor serves basic Starbucks drinks, breakfast, and dinner For breakfast, they have the following items: Two Egg Omelet, Eggs Your Way, Bistro Breakfast Sandwich, Balanced Breakfast Sandwich, Breakfast Burrito, and Classic Oatmeal For dinner, they may have the following items: Avocado Lemon Yogurt Dip, Caesar Salad, Margherita Flatbread, Loaded Tot – Chos, and Grilled Chicken & Bacon QuesadillaDuring my stay, I had breakfast at their bistro I had a Two Egg Omelet made with egg whites, gruyere, and caramelized onions It was served with crispy herb potatoes and ketchup and dressed with lemon EVOO It was deliciousMy room (including the bathroom) was clean, spacious, and great view of the Rio lakefront In terms of toiletries, they provided makeup wipe, facial bar, body wash, shampoo and conditioner I liked how the showers were hot The bed and sofa bed were super comfy My only complaint was the walls aren’t very insulated – you can hear conversations, opening and closing of doors, nature, and motor vehicles

Hampton Inn was one of my go-to places for a quick one night stay on a road trip Last May, I stayed at a couple of them in Maine and was not disappointed What I like best about them is that they are clean and the bed is usually pretty comfortable

This specific one has some issues I think that they don’t use all cotton sheets or something because they don’t feel good against the skin The mattress wasn’t awful but not good The pool area smelled strongly of mold I was down there last night because I needed to relax my back and do some water therapy exercises after a long drive Because I have a mold allergy, I’m still having symptoms in my chestWhile I’d recommend Hampton Inn as a chain for folks on a road trip, I wouldn’t recommend this one Keep driving

This place is an unbelievably good deal The rooms are HUGE (be sure to ask for a tower room) It’s a bit of a drive from DC, but we plan on staying here any time we come back

This hotel offers an experience you typically don’t get unless you’re spending an additional $100-200 per night Be sure to walk to the town square in Rockville where you’ll find families with kids playing in the water park when the weather is warm Great hotel for families

The staff is very unfriendly we said hello and attempted to be friendly after making 8 hour trip with a baby But, They did not say hello or welcomed to the hotel

“keys, wifi, elevator to the left” is all they said we asked for a change to do laundry, and the staff refused There was no coffee in the morning, and 2 staff were talking to each other while guests were waiting for coffee Location and building are fine, but service is terrible

Mike Larrick

OK but quite expensive for the quality Rooms are clean and large, but not a lot to write home about No bath, only basic cable

They will charge you $20 for parking, which seems scammy They tell you they’ll validate parking but don’t mention they’ll charge you for it For a hotel on the outskirts of beltway suburbia, you’d think they would include that with the room I didn’t take a boat in Also they will send you spam emails and texts to sign up for their club

My mom and I traveled from Maine to a loved one’s celebration of life memorial service It was a long drive, so when we got into our room at 9pm it was nice to collapse onto the comfortable beds The pool and hot tub were nice and relaxing, but they should be open until 10pm

All the staff I interacted with were amazing, with the exception of the restaurant staff One woman in particular was quite rude first thing in the morning when I went downstairs to get our breakfast The hair dryer worked terrific as did the iron and ironing boardThere are only a few complaints or suggestions I have: The TV is a great size, but it would be nice if it could be more in the middle of the room Perhaps on a swivel I think the rooms should be stocked with more cream and sugar for the coffee It also would’ve been nice to have a microwave in the room too Our inside shower curtain was only hanging on by a few of the ringsOverall, this place is incredible and I’d love to stay again and definitely will given the chance

I was very pleasantly surprised by Hyatt Regency Reston The room was adequate and reasonably clean (though a little small) The bed was comfortable though a bit too firm for my liking

However, what really set this place apart from most hotels was the service I was truly shocked at how good it was Any call to the front desk was always answered and everyone I spoke with was very pleasant and accommodating Any request made was met within 15-20 min with no follow-ups required! My main gripe was the elevators, which often took a very long time to arrive and were frequently very full (but this is not unusual when there is an event taking place) Location is also great with many restaurants and stores within walking distance

Andrea Brewer

I have to admit I expected a little more Several times the room keys wouldn’t open the hotel door I had to make several trips to the front desk

It was very loud on a Saturday night with children running and screaming in the hall way The pool and hot tub were nice but definitely look swankier in the hotel photos The bed and pillows were AMAZING! Expensive pillows (I checked, Pacific Coast down), nice thick towels and the room was very clean I wouldn’t pay the advertised rate though Definitely not worth $270 a night Parking is an additional $16 per night Also, no breakfast but lots of restaurants within walking distance Try Ted’s Bulletin Great food and superb service 👌

Carpets were dirty The twin beds took up most of the room There was the sofa bed, but it had no sheets – we had to order them twice before they came

Worst of all, the free breakfast (well, we probably paid for it out of the $27500 one night stay) I was hoping they would have a nice selection for one’s personal taste – especially for the room rate The eggs were cold hard boiled, no fruit, there was milk, cereal, and some packaged waffles Juice too Forget trying to find any hot scrambled eggs or omelettes – they didn’t offer any McDonald’s would have been better We were the only ones wearing masks in the crowded room that had no social distancing during this latest COVID outbreak – and the dirty looks we got from patrons – I don’t think it was because we are interracial – but you never know The looks were like “Why are you here? – “Do you really belong?” – “How can you afford this place?”

Jasmin Leu

Big and clean room with fridge, microwave and TVBreakfast was delicious good choice Oat milk and fresh fruits were a highlight

Negative is that there is to much single use plastic involved Instead use real plates and mugs and glasses Would be much more environmentaly conciousIf this changes 5 stars are appropriate

Michael Sadowsky

My interactions with the staff were excellent When I asked for sheets for the pullout they had them right awayThis location’s breakfast has not fully recovered from COVID yet

There was breakfast, but more limited than I would normally expect from a Springhill, and lots of individual packages, and less hot food optionsThis was the smallest Springhill room I have ever stayed in We had a King with a pullout, and when the couch was pulled out the door to the room could not be fully opened I’m not sure how that isn’t a fire hazard

I visited this location for business travel and was exceptionally pleased with my experience Upon arrival, I received a small welcome gift [as a member of the rewards program], and had a beautiful lake facing room I was pleased that it was quiet and all service requests were tended to with care

During my stay I enjoyed the fitness facility, restaurant, and adjacent attractions at Rio It was very nice to have the option to go to the movie theatre or walk around the lake right next to the front doorEven though there were many highlights of this trip, the best part was undoubtedly the service provided by Carla [front desk] She went above and beyond in helping me with all of my questions and become acquainted with the area I even had a few requests that were not part of the regular offerings and she helped craft and deliver innovative solutions It was a refreshing relief to receive such excellent customer service that would be more commonly associated with the St RegisOverall I strongly recommend this hotel for any business travelers and also believe it would be suitable for families as it quite safe and orderly There are also adjacent attractions for children including a carousel, large arcade and multiple high quality family restaurants

Sue Bai

My daughter and I stayed here last week during the independence day weekend The hotel was quiet, clean and the staff are very friendly and welcoming The location was ideal: we walked over to AMC for a movie-night right across the hotel! The breakfast food was so well prepared I left a note to the food service manager about how much we appreciated the wonderfully prepared food, even though it was a slow weekend with very few customers at the hotel

I am impressed by the quality of the service and highly recommend this hotel!
