We stay here when visiting family Sharron and Kyle are so accommodating to their guests! Our rooms are always clean along with the rest of the common areas in the hotel

thanks Gina! We needed some Ibuprofen one night and the young man at the front desk offered some up so we didn’t have to run out to get some A plus service from everyone we deal with We look forward to our next visits

Worst Hampton Inn experienceHad requested a room on the main floor in our reservation Not available

Room stunk – window was left open Window was so dirty (picture attached)Fridge didn’t workAC would turn on intermittently even when it was turned off manuallyIce machine was out of serviceNo hot water in the sink or shower ( evening when we arrived or next morning)Breakfast selection was terribleTried communicating with a manager – none on site (Hilton website – is not conducive to making a complaint Although we have received surveys in the past from our stays @ Hampton Inns – nothing was forthcoming this time)Although we have stayed at this location in the past – this was definitely a disappointment

Steve Garvin

Worst customer service EVER! The hotel general manager, or “top dog” (as he called himself) just hung up on me when I called to get the regional manager’s number to address my issue of leaving items in my hotel room closet, totally my fault I called to have them check the closet, the manager said nothing was found, you can call back tomorrow…no offer to take my name and number When I called a second time to get the regional’s number, I was told “Sir, you just misplaced your stuff” (I always misplace my suit for my sons wedding, a coat, two shirts and tie!)

He raised his voice as he assured me that all rooms and closets are thoroughly check after each customer…I said I know they don’t because my son and his family stayed in another room and had “used” bathroom towels piled up in their closet “Sir, you are questioning the integrity of my staff!” No, I replied, I just want the closet checked in room 211 “I am sure you just misplaced your items sir” I didn’t want to argue so I just asked again for the regional managers phone number…”we don’t give that out, there’s no way I am giving that to you…you would have to call corporate Okay, can I have that number? You can find it online…click He hung up on me…unbelievable! I wasn’t even going to complain to him about how his desk clerk the night we checked in could not figure out how to process an online reservation combined with an added night that we booked I did mention to the GM as a courtesy when we did check out that they needed to fix the faucet in our room…oh yea, those faucets are a horrible design he said, they spin and leak water all over the counter Exactly, I said…it’s a known issue, he replied Breakfast food and service was great, location is great, the leader of this hotel not Great at all, except in his mind You just lost a customer and actually made a very easy situation to address a BIG issue, because he didn’t know how to simply listen to a customer, address the concern without sarcasm, and find a resolution Now, I will voice my experience to everyone I know… family, fellow business travelers, etc I will now use this as a story in my business and training meetings across 5 surrounding states, including UT, of how NOT to solve a customer need/request Yes, Top Dog, you will be famous for this horrible interaction and how your condescending attitude has now made you a legend for the wrong reason I will insure that I do get to speak with your regional manager and let that person know what a poor GM they have hired and how that person has damaged the reputation of Hampton Inn! NOT a Top Dog in any sense of the word!

I had stayed here previously and thought it was great Unfortunately not so much this time First, they gave me the wrong room and I had to move to another

The reading lamp over the bed was broken and hanging by a wire (I have a picture) There was a shirt left by a previous guest (I assume) on top of the blankets in the closet (I have a picture of this too) The entire room felt dirt and definitely needed a good dusting everywhere I went out and bought some cleaning supplies The bedding was too small for the bed and pillows I also went out and bought a blanket so I knew it had not been used I was there from Thursday- to Monday No housekeeping When I did go down to get some towels, the staff was too busy talking in the dining area to even notice I’ve always liked Marriott but maybe it’s time to change

David Massey

Good hotel Quiet Easy access

The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly Modern vibeHad a terrific shower setupThe pool/hot tub are located outside Everyone driving by, working out or at the mental facility next door can see you So your Uber safeBreakfast was on par with the usual mid level breakfast: fake eggs, fake bacon Sometimes fake sausage They did have a potato/sausage thing one morning that was goodFor the hotel: great stay I would suggest…removing the bucket of drinks that has a sign that says Grab a Bite and Beverageit seems like this is complimentary I assume it’s happened in the past because you have a sub-sign that says not complimentary It just serves no real purpose and adds un-needed complications

Morgan Evans

The room was not clean, all the surfaces were dirty, hand prints in the bathroom, white crusty substance all over the couch and ottoman, dirt and hair in all the corners I found a bug in the bed The staff refused to clean my room even after kindly asking for service and informing them of the bug in the bed

They won’t clean your room until your 5th night, no exceptions!!!! Doesn’t appear they clean the rooms period!! Also the walls and floors are thin You can hear every footfall all around you even with the tv on Don’t spend your money here!!!

Pleasant and quick check in Newer hotel in a quiet area with sufficient parking Everything was clean and the room was spacious

Bathroom was a good size and had great lighting with an over sized shower Complimentary Toiletries were good quality Complimentary coffee in the lobby was a nice touchBecause we had to check out early, they could not provide us with a small breakfast to go, this was the only inconvenienceI’d still give it 5 stars as overall it was a great place to stay!

Emily Smith

Newly built hotel, exceptionally clean and in a very convenient location right off the I-15 Short drive to lots of restaurants points of interestWe stayed as a family with 2 young children – the buffet breakfast and pool were a huge hit!Lots of food options, anything from hot waffles with juice to hard boiled eggs and bacon with flavored water or coffee

Sadly if you eat a gluten free diet you will be limited to the eggs and meat selection for the day (sausage or bacon) and dairy products No gluten free cereal or baked good options I made do with a few peanut butter packets from the waffle bar since I’m not huge sausage fanThe rooms were so clean and nice and spacious enoughMy one problem with the hotel room was the blasted “barn door” on the bathroom It offers virtually no privacy due to large open gaps on either side when shut and there is no lock The kids could freely come in and out as we used the bathroom and that was a little annoying, and they loved to slide it fast and slam it so I can see how that could have the potential to be annoying for other visitors (We did put a stop to this from our kids)We slept with a sound machine so it’s hard to judge how quiet the hotel is at night but we slept just fine, zero issues there We were on the fourth floor, top floor which helpsThere was ample charging ports throughout the room in convenient locations, and several USB ports which was perfect!Also each room has a fridge and microwave, nice touchI loved the room darkening and light filtering curtain options, very effective

Jane Elizabeth Alcala

What a disaster So sad to say because I had high hopes The first room smelled awful

Then I went to the front desk and she was very sweet about it (this lady was very nice and helpful at check in) and gave me the room across the way It also smelled so strong it made my eyes water too but I had so much work to get done I thought I will just try and put up with it Not sure what the prior people were cooking in those rooms I couldn’t even sleep, it gave me a headache Was too tired to get up for breakfast after not sleeping The washcloths were in a ball at the corner of the sink The toilet paper had about a quarter left and was unrolling onto the floor When we peeled the bedsheets back there was black curly hair The shower has handprints on the glass Those things were really disappointing, I didn’t even get any rest or to shower But to top it off I had a small medical emergency this morning and was hoping to extended my check out a tiny bit to get a shower before I left I called 0 from the room and the lady who answered at around 10:55 am was SO RUDE I’ve never encountered that before Absolutely sarcastic and just went out of her way to be so so rude We travel the United States on business and sometimes are in a new state daily so we are very well versed with Hilton Never have we ever had someone so absolutely rude and her tone was purposely so demeaning hopefully she finds another job out of the hospitality industry I was going to extend another night and have our employees meet here to book but after speaking with that lady we are going elsewhere Rooms were not even clean and that lady makes paying double elsewhere more than worth it

We had such a good experience overall The staff was incredibly kind and helpful – they always greeted me when I walked in and asked if there was anything they could get me Our rooms were nice and accommodated our group well

The workout equipment was great – much better than most 2-3* hotels I’ve been to Same can be said about the breakfast Overall we enjoy our stay very much

Mary Manuel

I have stayed in this brand hotel in the past This particular location is above and beyond what I have seenThe customer service was kind, courteous, and helpful

There is ample parking The breakfast (even at 9:00 when we came down) was delicious and had a wide variety of food The rooms are pristine Nicely laid out, beautifully decoratedIt was the perfect stop for us on our way from Colorado to California

Brenda Jones Sharpe

This hotel has nice rooms which I’d classify as Mid Tier My highest ranking of four stars for service was all about the employees Everyone I encountered was professional, personable and always polite

Everyone provided a genuine smile or an offer of assistance at every turn This hotel was clean and the cleaning staff took pride in ensuring it stayed that way I highly recommend it

We stayed one night Very clean room on the second floor It’s a new building so everything is in great condition

Check in was easy and fast My kids enjoyed the pool and complimentary breakfast Some options were cereal, oatmeal, pastries, eggs and sausage The only issue I had was having to pay for parking , $7/day There was nothing special about parking, not even covered/gated parking

Ariana Mas

Taylor and Lane are spectacular! They truly are the definition of customer care and what every front desk staff should strive to be I had a small issue but they were so helpful and put me at ease that all would be ok and it was thanks to their assistance One of the supervisor ladies was not so helpful or friendly

Probably one of those promotions for the amount of time with the company not based on merit because she acts like she does not have to do anything for anyone I’m just happy I did not have to deal with her much Overall my stay was wonderful I only had to deal with supervisor grumpy pants when I was leaving but it was very unprofessional of her to yell at my daughter Noone should ever yell at a child especially if he/she are not their ownBreakfast was great except for the last day the oven blew up so they did not have hot breakfast but the kitchen staff were so sweet and loaded us up on fruit and yogurtIf you are one of those who prefer a hotel within walking distance to a store or shops this is not it but it’s a short drive like 5 minutes to a 711 Rooms are beautiful spacious and modern Cleaning staff are generous with towels and kitchen supplies I was very happy wish I could have stayed longer Thank you Lane and Taylor!

Christine Myers

Might want to clean the vents in bathroom once in awhile They charge for parking

why??? I understand downtown hotels where parking is limited but here I don’t understand I was taking a shower and discovered the conditioner bottle was empty If you are a woman you understand how annoying it is not to be able to condition my hair The bottles are locked to the shower wall so I couldn’t even tip it upside down to get any little amount Mattress are not comfortable Breakfast was disappointing So at 7:15am breakfast items not being warm doesn’t make sense I understand at 9:50am why they might have gone coldThe positives are that the room was really large and it has a good kitchen

I really love staying here, beautiful rooms, mini fridge and microwave are always a plus as well I always get the best night of rest here, for a couple reason For one the beds are amazing and comfortable

For two the rooms are nice and quiet The only complaint I have is the digital key So many timed I was standing at the door trying the digital key 10-15 times before it works work, so frustrating

Brittany Skelly

Staff was super kind and attentive in all areas (front desk/café/room service) Rooms were very cozy and the view of the mountains was a treat The gym and pool were totally empty on the weekdays since the guests were mostly a working/business crowd

That’s an added bonus if you want to just hang out and relax on a Monday 🙂

Melissa Burns Mugisha

We stayed here recently, over February 12th-14th in a room with one king bed When we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted by a man who was automatically suspicious of us We’re not sure why, but because of that, he was very rude and curt with us

Thankfully the customer support lady was much nicer The room was nice, but the bathroom didn’t have conditioner or lotion provided, which we chose not to say anything about because we didn’t want to deal with the rude check-in assistant again and were only staying for 2 nights We decided to go to the pool which was completely empty the entire weekend we were there As soon as we entered, it was obvious to us why The whole pool and hot tub area smelled strongly like sewage I reported it immediately on the first day but it didn’t get taken care of before we left, even though I’m almost certain it was a health hazard The day we left, the check-out time was at 12:00pm At around 10:30am, the housekeeping staff knocked on our door, waking us up, despite the do not disturb sign on our door and the required check-out time being later Overall, it’s not worth the price and I would never stay here again Marriot usually does such a good job, but the hotel does not live up to its rating

The location was convenient and seemed pretty secure Check in was efficient and we were treated well with all staff interactions Cleanliness was good throughout the property

Breakfast was standard fair with an okay variety but pretty meh quality I didn’t have high expectations and unfortunately wasn’t surprised by a stellar tasting breakfast either It’s good enoughI did feel misled regarding our room Realizing that some of this is on me for not doing better research when booking, it was disappointing to book a ‘suite’ to find it just a standard room with two beds and a pull out all in the same space My previous experience with booking suites involved having some separation in sleeping space This meant our space was cramped with 5 people but it workedI would stay here again, but make sure you know what you are getting if booking a ‘suite’

J Spence

Had a nice stay here overnight The woman checking me in was very hospitable They should give her a uniform to wear though so she can feel good about her job

The room was clean Pet (dog) fee was $20 which is why we stayed here Typical HIE breakfast in the morning, which is always nice to haveAs most places go in SLC/UT – absolutely 0 social distancing or mask wearing here – save one housekeeper And we wonder why we’re still in this 2 1/4 years later I guess to be expected when all the license plates are from UT/NV/IDAlso didn’t see many (or any) hand sanitizing stations Expect to have your personal space invaded by the geriatrics in the morning buffet line, breathing all over your food

Leeroy Mitchell

I would like to say first the Housekeeping staff is amazing and deserve 5 stars! I stayed at this property for 3 weeks while my place was being prepared Miss Martina is the best! Ashley at the front desk was accommodating and understanding deserve 5 stars! She went over and beyond to ensure my stay was a relaxing experience Now I will explain why this property is not getting 5 star because the lady that do the breakfast is by far the meanest individual I ever met

She is so damn lazy and spend most of the time on her cellphone Breakfast is the worst and she rarely put out multiple items! Everything is always undercooked and poorly managed! I wouldn’t want no one to lose there jobs but they may need to consider sitting her down and having a conversation with her!

We made a same-day reservation and I was pleased with the whole experience Service was professional and pleasant, the room was clean with a big shower I liked the short distance from the freeway yet far enough to not hear any noise though our room was facing away

A great place to lodge if no need to have shops within a walking distance

Allen A.

This is definitely a 2 star hotel The rooms aren’t as updated as the pictures lead you to believe I could also hear my neighbors on either side, which doesn’t allow for privacy

The hotel amenities are nice and the lobby was well maintained The breakfast was ok Everything was basically processed food The eggs had too much liquid thoughThe staff were pretty friendly and approachable The housekeeping staff always greeted me in the hallway

Elle Pizzo

After hotelscom botched our reservation, LT and the Hyatt house team worked tirelessly to get us a room when they were completely booked at 12am You’d be hard pressed to find staff that care these days, and this is why I highly recommend this place

Breakfast was good, plenty of snacks were stocked, the room was clean and updated as well Thank you so much!!!

Corie Shaw

Hotel stay was good Staff were very friendly and responsive to address cobweb above bed upon arrival I stayed in room 215

Some issues that I found the hotel general manager and maintenance need to address are as follows:Bathroom sink has a very slow drainShower head is broken and is barely workingOutlets in all the lamps are very loose and do not hold device chargers very wellBathroom hand towel had yellow stains on itLamp shades are cracked and drainedI am hopeful the hotel management will be able to address the issues The hotel is pretty dated and would benefit from an upgrade to maintain the Hilton brand

Brenda Jones Sharpe

The room was OK, but a bit dated Ours had a fireplace which was a nice touch The breakfast was good and maintained well, and the staff were courteous and professional

Some of our neighbors were loud and the staff had to make an appearance several times, but that was not the fault of the hotel Overall I’d recommend it as a Mid tier Hotel

Shelli Thatcher

Came with family and our pet for a quick overnight stay They are pet friendly with a moderate priced non refundable deposit They beds were comfy and rooms have fridge and microwave

I advise you to use your Hilton honors and\or your AAA or AARP card for additional perks ie late check out Only downfall was room was slightly smaller than I expected Staff was amazing from check in to housekeeping Thanks for a comfortable night stay

Levi Aldean

My friend and I enjoyed our stay overall The room was dated but seemed clean enough When I needed more towels it was a challenge to communicate with the housekeepers

Milly in the kitchen helped me with the towels Her breakfast was also very well done, tasted good and well presented She was very dedicated to also cleaning the breakfast area

Karson Nelson

It was a pretty decent stay They could not find our reservation and so they put us in what I assume is their worst room (1 queen sized bed and no microwave) the night manager when we stayed was not friendly (neither was he rude) he was just indifferent The pool and hot tub were great

The breakfast was pretty good as well with many different options and no limit to how much you could get

Sarah Herr

Walking into the lobby, I noticed sparkling clean floors and nicely decorated Our room didn’t disappoint either-extremely clean and well maintained The staff was friendly and professional

The front desk staff was extremely helpful and professional The breakfast was hot, fresh and well stocked Definitely will stay here again when visiting Salt Lake!

Home 2 is a great hotel I highly recommend them One of the things we’ve loved is their amazing breakfasts that are included

We were sorely disappointed with the offering here It may be due to Covid19 changes Most hotels just do a grab bag now days so it wasn’t just that at least, but the offerings were very poor compared to what I’ve experienced at every other Home 2 I’ve stayed at The pool towels were not stocked The room was clean so comfortable with great amenities Even though it wasn’t the best Home 2 we’ve stayed at I would still come again and still highly recommend them

Kevin Hart

The breakfast was honestly the worst breakfast I’ve ever had at any Hilton, Marriott, or IHG property The egg bowl was absolutely disgusting, I noticed a couple other guest who threw out the bowl as well being as it was one of the very few options being served that morning Very disappointing

Also I accidentally left a birthday card for my wife in the room along with a gift card inside the envelope, did they find it? Of course not The room is your standard Home 2 Suites, only issue was the breakfast Honestly I find it very hard to say I will be back to this exact property because of this It was that bad

There is plenty of grass areas outside for pets The location feels safe and we have never had any issues with work materials in the trucks The elevator is a little wobbly so we have taken the stairs quite a bit which is inconvenient with bags We do stay often so it would be nice to get a discount after multiple stays and being loyal!

We stayed at this best western on a spring break trip to Salt Lake city We traveled with a dog, they hold a $25 cleaning fee per night for this We were only charged a total of$25 for cleaning after we left

Probably due to having a yellow lab that shed quite a bit, so I understand and am not upset about it The rooms were very clean, the bathrooms were very clean, the hallways had a few ” sprinkles” of evidence of others staying there, but those things were not there the next day, ie, they clean this place to to bottom daily My only complaint world be that the mattresses are spring mattresses and you can tell they could use an update Overall the nights sleep was comfortable, but I did miss my memory foam bed from home Highly recommend this best western, centrally located, friendly and helpful staff, free breakfast, pool, and clean rooms!!!

Good location near the main road and has Wendy’s right beside it Lobby is small and so is the breakfast area Has a pool which is great, however, you have wet guests walking to their rooms and dripping on the carpet making the hallway and elevator smell dank (which would be ok if I were at the beach)

The shower handle (to turn the water on) also requires some force to pull, I thought I was going to snap it off the wall Front desk staff are nice and friendly Mixture of pros and cons but enough pros for 4 stars

This room was spacious, clean, and well stocked of soaps, shampoos and other toiletries The outlets worked well and the trundle bed was a very comfortable couch in the room The TV was on a swivel and made it easy to see from the bed and the couch on the two sides of the room which had a small wall divider

The room was also well stocked with coffee makings and towels The breakfast in the mornings was served promptly and early They had juice, cereal, individual cartons of milk, packaged Belgian waffles, egg sausage muffins and fresh fruit The staff at the front desk was courteous and knowledgeable The parking lot was cramped in the front and dark in the back, it made it hard to find great parking The key return was easy at checkout In all a great stay for our wedding night

You can’t ask for a better location! This hotel is right next door to Thanksgiving Point and right across the freeway from the Traverse Mountain Outlets It’s only an exit away from IKEA and ten minutes or so from the Hale Center Theatre It was perfect for our weekend getaway! The whole place was so clean and well kept

The room had two beds plus a couch with a pull out trundle It comfortably slept our family of 5 The breakfast was abundant and well stocked They even had hot breakfast sandwiches and burritos available that were great to take and go My girls loved swimming in the indoor pool and hot tub There was even a little gazebo area outside for relaxing and reading I would definitely stay here again!

Casey Swain

Great place to stay and our family loved the continental breakfast Waffles, oatmeal, fruit, egg omelet, with milk and juice There was more but I’m unable to remember it all! The room was decent there a few things like the shower curtain rod was falling off

There was also a small pool and a small hot tub Don’t let the pictures fool you! They are pretty small! But they do have a small gym which is pretty good considering other hotels only have a treadmill and a mirror!

Sitting right across the road from traverse mountain outlets and strap tank brewery this has been one of the best hotels I gave stayed at in a while Staff was very helpful and friendly We had a small issue that maintenance came and fixed, he even asked if he wanted him to come back later or fix now so he wasn’t in our way

They have a pool, gym, conference rooms, free breakfast not just bagels and toast but eggs, potatoes, cereal, lots more The only complaint I have is the bed in our room was stiff, everyone else slept fine I would stay here again even if I had to drive 30+ minutes to get where I was going Great Job!!!

Horrible the only hotel I’ve stayed at that actively felt like they were looking for ways to rip you off1) their page on Hotels

com says “pet-friendly” my wife called to confirm that before check-in during check-in, the clerk noted the cat as she began checking my family in until a manager happened to walk by he saw the cat and said, “We don’t accept cats” after an hour of arguing, he finally let my family check in, which led to…2) sudden inexplicable mystery fees! on day two, the front desk called and said they forgot to charge us the cat deposit how odd that the cat was discussed with the manager for over an hour the day prior and not once did the manager mention this deposit it seems like a contradictory business practice, to charge a fee for something that you don’t allow in the building at all forgive me for thinking that the more likely explanation is that the management experienced a sudden bout of vindictiveness which is further evidenced by…3) the missing thousand dollars! we check this morning, expecting to find that the hotel returned the pet deposit to us they had not in fact, they helped themselves to another $1,000 and change oddly enough, the exact cost of our stay, times twothe front desk clerk initially said the first one was an authorization charge after we explained that, no, you don’t make an authorization charge by taking the cost of the stay and multiplying it by two, she shifted gears to, “it was an accident”imagine if the rest of us could use that excuse when we take a thousand dollars that doesn’t belong to us “oopsie daisy!,” you say to your employer “i didn’t mean to take my paycheck twice! accident!”if you HAVE to stay with this amateur hour operation, get an itemized receipt don’t let them rob you too

Great stay We love using a digital key and checking in/out on the app No need to talk to people at all!Room 422 (king+sleeper) was almost total black out, save for one bright sliver of light on the side of the window

Bathroom offered an adjustable nightlight if neededA/C worked really well Any loudness helped muffle hallway sounds as people walked by from the elevatorShower head was adjustable There didn’t seem to be an exhaust fan, but no biggieBreakfast was decent continentalmake your own waffles, hard boiled eggs, reheated omelets, cereal, muffins, yogurt, fresh fruit Nothing special, but no complaintsCompared to the Holiday Inn Express next door, a definite winner!

Shanda Weil

Good east to find location, though you do hear freeway noise from your room Not bad but something to be aware ofDigital keys work great!Breakfast was well stocked and good options

Indoor Pool is a good sizeOur personal pro is an actual bathroom door (we have a pet peeve with the new trend to have a barn door on new/remodeled hotels)

Laurence Gray

COVID disappointment, Upon check in was notified the hotel does not clean rooms for stay unless asked I was staying four nights and I requested clean room every day first day was great came back to room after working and found room clean then nothing, room not clean second day or third day

Out of coffee, out of cups, needed to fetch towels Disappointment for sure They should discount the rooms if they are not cleaning them This is after requesting the room to be cleaned a few times

I can’t recommend and say enough about this hotel Staff is amazing, kind and helpful Breakfast is really good, lots of options

Many times the gentleman was bringing more out close to the end time, when other hotels would just let it run out then wait to close the line, not here They made sure everyone was served My husband works at 4 am and this gentleman that helps with the breakfast gave him a few breakfast sandwiches to warm up in our room since he was always gone for breakfast Large rooms with comfy beds We had the room with the pull out couch and it was comfy as well Very pet friendly hotel, just pick up after your pet as I noticed some don’t I’d hate to see others ruin pets being able to come because pet owners aren’t doing their job cleaning up after their pet We were doing an addition on our house and had to stay here 6 days The customer service we received during our stay was top notch Highly recommend

Eric Jones

Very nice and clean place to stay Good breakfast options and no issues at all The staff was friendly, the parking was good, and would absolutely stay here again

The value was good overall – everything is high in this area but as compared to other options, the value is still good There are places to eat within walking distance and many more within a few miles The area that this hotel is in is very desirable Highly recommend

Clean and the beds are so comfortable The most amazing part was the customer service we received from Kim W She was so polite and sweet

She went out of her way to get us our wedding rate and ensure we had a room to stay in if needed for a second night She remembered us at every pass and left us the kindest note I have never stayed somewhere so clean nor have I ever received this level of customer service Please tell her I will never forget her She made our trip memorable

Wish I could rate this 0In town for the week for work and they set me up in this hotel Everything was supposed to be covered and our travel department had been coordinating with the hotel on payment but when I got checked in they asked to swipe my card for incidentals and charged the whole week onto my credit and they had no idea who I should talk to or what I should do about the fact that it was chargedDuring my stay, my room was not cleaned despite me leaving off the do not disturb sign

On top of that, my company booked me for one more night during my stay, I called the front desk and they told me I needed to check out of my current room and move to another one so I had to pack up and take all of my luggage to work When I went to check back in they gave me my SAME ROOM so I completely packed up and lugged everything around for no reasonThe cherry on top was that when I finally got back into my room I was CHANGING and a man WITH A KEY unlocked my door and walked in The only explanation I was given was that they had a miscommunication and he thought the room was vacantI can understand booking and payment issues, I know I will be getting a refund onto my card now, but after all the terrible service and a man using a key to walk into my room while I had clearly checked in at the front desk, I have to speak upI worked with the same front desk woman through this entire process and her customer service was terrible She seemed extremely annoyed with me every time I spoke to her or asked her a question to the point that a coworker of mine pointed out that she was being rude and unhelpful This same coworker was booked at the hotel next to this one and said they received amazing service and loved their stay I will never book at this location again

Chris Ben

Stopped here for the night Woman at front desk was nice got us checked in quickly and gave us directions to the car wash Room was a little small but well appointed, clean, and stylish

Shower instead of a tub which I love I would stay again and I would recommend this hotel I saw some other reviews complaining about the free breakfast It’s like that in the hotel industry Although I’ve not had breakfast here I would not bypass this hotel because it that We did not use wifi as we have mobile hotspots Thanks for a nice stay

We stayed in the Maui suite and really liked it Checking in was super easy and the room was nicely decorated There’s a lot of privacy and the whole experience was fun

The breakfast was good but came cold when we requested it at a later time, so I’d recommend getting it around 8 Although the suite was pretty cool, it had some things that needed fixing It took more than usual for both the bathroom sink and the shower to drain The toilet room was covered with a panel instead of a door We didn’t mind but we did notice the panel was a little difficult to fold Overall we had a good experience and would stay here again to try a different suite

Alex Condie

Our stay here was terrific! Each room is quite unique so my review only reflects staying in the Tahiti room The location is a little weird to find but when we arrived I was happy with being able to just key in the code and get straight into our room – no check in process whatsoever I really liked the theming of the room with real sand and the floor fish tank being nice touches

Bed was surprisingly comfortable (but the frame really needed some WD-40, so squeaky!) The breakfast was good and they were flexible on when to bring it The complementary snacks and movies in the hallway were nice as well This is specific to the Tahiti room but I didn’t realize there was no standing shower, just the tub and a short shower head wand It wasn’t really a problem but if we stayed for more than one night it would be a bit of a painOverall though, we had a wonderful time and will be back

Cole Jolley

My wife surprised me with a weekend getaway at 5th East Hall – Bed & Breakfast It was a ton of fun going into the Tahiti themed room and spending the evening thereWhat we enjoyed about the place:- We loved the theme and how they tied it into everything found within the room

Because of the Tahitian theme, there was actual sand in our room near the large tub- There were complementary snacks and a complementary breakfast, as long as we requested it which wasn’t bad- They had a small DVD selection that you could take a movie from to watch in your roomThe reason for taking off a star:- The bed The frame for it was beautiful and fit right into the theme It squeaked like no one’s business You move slightly and it would make a loud squeak Enjoying each other’s company made for a stressful time when our room was right next to the front desk Even sleeping in the bed was rough Didn’t get a restful night due to it making constant noisesWonderful place that we will visit again! Would recommend
