Beds are clean and super comfortable, check in staff was very nice and helpful The hotel is run down and old, but you can tell they try very hard to keep up appearances It was quiet, and the room was cheap

If you’re just looking for a quick and affordable place to rest up before moving on, this is a decent choice Area is a little sketchy but there are restaurants and shops close by Glory Days across the street is an awesome spot with good food too

Honestly they saved me from a dreadful hotel experience at the sleep inn hotel on Busch garden When I called first not only did the front desk made sure I had a wheel chair accessible room they where able to make sure I got the best deal and they made sure to include that we are a military family This hotel went over and beyond to make sure our family got the best experience

Every issue I had was resolved and when I needed to extend a day in the hotel they went over and beyond to make sure we kept a wheel chair accessible room I would definitely recommend choosing this hotel compared to the other I will definitely continue using la Quinta Inn from here on for any vacation I had a very relaxing and wonderful experience We originally came for a wedding and my fathers doctors appt and till the day we left I have no complaints Very clean, Maids cleaned the room if you want new sheets or bedding when requestedJust a excellent experience with a happy family of 6!

I recently had a small house fire and needed a place for me and my cat to stay while my home was being repaired I tried an Airbnb but found it to be unsafe due to animal activity in the walls and flickering lights I was so happy to find a room at La Quinta Inn & Suites

I felt safe the moment I got there All of the staff, including front desk, housekeeping and maintenance, were friendly, kind and helpful When I needed anything they were very responsive My room was clean and the shower had good water pressure with plenty of very hot water The bed was comfortable and all the linens in the room were clean I never saw any bugs anywhere in the building It was quiet and peaceful with a view of a wooded area across from the building Thanks to all of you for making a difficult time a lot easier!

My wife had a procedure in Tampa so we had to stay 3 days The experience was obviously stressful and a bit scary Every single person we encountered at this Embassy made this experience better

The front desk women were beyond helpful and nice The cleaning crew went out of their way to ensure our room was clean and safe before and after the surgery The cook was awesome and the lady in that area offered to fix my wife something special 5 stars and above to this team! Thank you for making a stressful experience better

LaShonda Renea Maxfield

Attended an awards event there Both conference rooms were well decorated and I loved that one had a sitting area Inside there is a really nice restaurant and seating that makes you feel as though you are sitting in a park outside

Catering staff was very friendly and accommodating (there was no vegan food but they made me a plate full of Romain lettuce) Guests raved about the food

I’ve stayed in quite a few of the hotels in this area (and pretty sure all of the Choice Hotels) and this one is definitely my favorite The price is a little steep compared to others around, but you do get what you pay for here (good) and it’s worth it, if you’re planning to spend time relaxing at your hotel during whatever you’re in town forCheck in was easy, front desk staff friendly and eager to help

Rooms are modern and fashionable, with lots of space Large bathrooms and pull out couches included in king/double rooms TV and appliances all worked without issue Bed was very comfortable and cleanAs of mid-February 2022, their breakfast is back to what it used to be, and it includes plenty of tasty hot and cold options They also have a small heated pool which I enjoyed, and a fitness center as well Housekeeping is every three nights if you’re on a long stay, and they will also bring you what you need aside from your room being serviced if you call and ask nicelyOnly picky things that I have to say is that there are no TV channel guides in the rooms and the top of the shower curtain in room 320 was torn Also no safes in rooms, but I just took valuables with me each dayI come for the state fair each year and will definitely stay again Huge step up from the Clarion Inn off Adamo (never again will I stay there) and the Quality Inns towards Busch Gardens and Ybor

I came to Comfort Suites to stay the night after attending the Chris Brown and Lil Baby concert at Midflorida Credit Union Amphitheatre This location is in walking distance to the amphitheater and fairgrounds! There is a little lake out front with birds and turtles sunbathing, and a small creek on the side of the hotel All of the staff I came into contact with were so sweet and had no problems answering the many questions I had

The hotel rooms are spacious, very clean, bed pillows and blankets were all super comfortable Bathroom had a great shower with a detachable shower head, good amount of towels, soap, shampoo, hair dryer, tissues, and the toilet paper was neatly folded which I thought was a nice touch Inside of the room there was a pull out couch, a desk if you need to bring your laptop and work, a phone, a charging block for electronics, a mini refrigerator, a microwave, a coffee pot with coffee pods, sugar, cream, tea bags, napkins There’s also a closet to hang clothes up in, with an iron and ironing board Lots of drawers to fold clothes up in This morning I went down to the lobby for breakfast, which was good They offer pancakes you can make yourself, eggs with packets of hot sauce on the side if you like some kick to your eggs, sausage gravy and biscuits, toast with butter and Jelly, muffins, cereal, coffee, juices I absolutely loved this place! It had everything I needed I definitely recommend Comfort Suites! Really enjoyed my time there

Cathy Starkweather

This is a very nice hotel and clean The staff was friendly, the continental breakfast in the morning was good, not that you should expect much out of a breakfast that’s included However it is very nice to have this as an option for a quick grab and go in the morning

My son said the coffee was good! I would definitely stay here again if I were going to another concert or event at the Ampitheatre

This place is the BEST! I recently stayed for a weekend and accidently left my work computer in my room I realized when I got home The office manager and staff were so helpful and kind

They helped with the return and I was so grateful I had a shipping company pick up my computer and I received it back in perfect condition Definitely the place to stay! Thank you! Thank you!

Javier Carranza

When getting a hotel like La Quinta Inn, you need to remember you’re not staying at the Sheraton or Embassy Suites You’re getting something affordable, convenient, and reliable which is exactly what it was! So I’m typically not as picky or critical if something is going on I needed a place to stay for a few days and I got a very comfortable stay

Rooms were a little outdated but cozy, breakfast was nice but there wasn’t much variety And all of that is fine! It’s not the Sheraton rememberThe location to Busch Gardens was awesome and a short Uber/Lyft away and there were some shops about a 10-15 minute walk away which was convenient The staff was extremely friendly and was helpful in answering any question or dealing with any issue I had They were awesome and a big part of the reason why I enjoyed my stayThe stay wasn’t perfect, there was some issues with the toilet, a little water leaked from the AC window unit and I had to get a new key card because mine didn’t work for my room Did I want this to happen? Absolutely not, but for the price I paid and convenience I was okay with it

magaly ramos

The bathroom it’s too low to the floor do you need to update the room more model The carpet needs to go they look really old! The people works there they’re really nice the lobby everything smells good but they need new carpet update to look nicer! The only thing I don’t like the doors when you go in the room they make tuna too much noise you sure slam doors all night

I stayed here for a few nights for work and from start to end was a pleasant experience for me The check in process was pretty quick, the front desk person was friendly and helpful and was knowledgeable about the area they worked in, which is sometimes rare The hotel feels brand new, it’s clean and bright with my room being ideal, clean, comfortable and quiet

Breakfast was as expected I was very impressed with the quality of this hotel, with the price being at a very good value and not all the hustle and bustle of downtown Tampa Look forward to my next stay in a few weeks

Christine Martin

We recently stayed at this property for eight nights with our family of five and a dog Overall, we had a really positive experience! The staff were very pleasant and helpful The hotel itself was clean and well appointed

The room size was large and comfortable for a our family during our stay We also found the hotel very quiet even with lots of guests and dogs staying there The breakfast every morning was also really niceThe only thing I’d say could use a bit of improvement were some of the amenities Because of Covid, the room cleaning doesn’t happen daily We had scheduled it for midway through and they didn’t come, so we had to ask them again and they came the next day We did run out of toilet paper and needed new towels more frequently, but when we asked, they were happy to oblige The cookware in the room was very limited and were missing things like there were only 3 forks and 2 knives The bedding was also less than desirable It seemed like they were using a bedskirt as the main blanket which was odd We had to ask for more bedding for the pull out couch The final thing was that during our stay, one of the two dryers were broken – leaving only one dryer for the whole hotel to use There didn’t seem to be any attempts to get a technician to fix it so there was often time long waits to dry our clothingBut other than those amenities we really did enjoy our time and would absolutely stay there again

Jennifer Patterson

Nice place to stay, comfy beds & pillows, nice location, friendly staff, free breakfast & parking, Major Problem

the carpet was FILTHY & there were several pieces of old food on the floor!! I know this is a budget hotel but went to the manager & told them this is NOT up to Hilton standards! I’ve NEVER seen carpet that dirty in even a cheap hotel! The manager was very apologetic & moved me to another room immediately If there is a Hilton wherever I am travelling to, I usually stay there because anything less than pristine clean is really not for me Hilton has always met & usually exceeds my expectations, but I was disappointed with the cleanliness of the floors in this one

NOT RECOMMENDED! Front staff were very nice Decent breakfast ZERO parking either of the nights

Had to park on the street a block away Shared parking lot with another hotel Front desk told another guy to park between the handicap spots Used the coffee maker for hot water and sludge came out from the previous user putting coffee grounds in the wrong spot (which meant it hadn’t been cleaned between stays) Elevator was out, we had to carry our luggage up and down three floors Toilet seat wasn’t seated properly so it slipped and clunked every time you sat on it If it hadn’t been so late, we would have checked out and gotten another room Gave them grace the first night, thought parking was a fluke It wasn’t

jim Schultz

Had 8 rooms reserved for a business golf trip Book rooms months in advance because our golf resort 2hrs away was full for the night of arrival into Florida Was on vacation in Florida with family and called hotel 2 weeks prior to cancellation room deadline to cancel room block

Spoke to an associate to cancel the rooms The associate told me that I needed to speak to a manager to cancel the rooms I was placed on hold for 20 min Associate came back and let me know the manager could not speak to me at that current time and to call back Of course with being on vacation and doing family activities, I forgot to call back I realize that is on myself but when I realized I was charged for the room block for no showing, the manager I spoke to said they had no Idea why the associate did not cancel the rooms on the first call There wasn’t a need for a manager to cancel the rooms in the first place, all associates are able to do the room cancellations I am not looking for a full refund, but maybe just something I have requested on 4 different occasions to speak with a manager at the location through Marriott elite services but have never gotten a call back I just feel that if the hotel handled my call correctly right away, we would of had this this situation

Scott Thompson

Marriott Titanium member who travels a lot and 95% of stays are on Marriott properties Nearly never write reviews, but wish I had known this info prior to my last minute booking, without research Staff was fine, but this hotel simply does not meet Marriott standards

It desperately needs updated Dingy, worn out carpets, musky odor, everything outdated and showing its age What was presented as breakfast was sub-standard as wellAfter first night, I moved to another Fairfield (Tampa Wesley Chapel) and was quickly reminded of the dramatic difference, as the other one is modern, clean, spacious, etcI’m sure staff at the Brandon Fairfield are doing their job, with what they have, but the current state of the hotel should not be accepted as a Marriott property and I felt a review should put out there for those preparing for a stay in the area

Breakfast was back to pre-pandemic and was pretty nice offering The room has been updated However, the cleanliness and service has something to be desired

Check in front desk was great but we messaged front desk at 12:13 asking for another wash cloth as there was only 1 in the room and never heard back even next morning or when we were sleeping I understand staffing but communication is key There is also mold in the shower on the ceiling and the shampoos Really needs detailed cleaning

Katelyn Valles

I had a good experience I think it would have been better if there was more storage space options like dressers or drawers to put your belongings inI also thought the breakfast was average

They had back order issues for oatmeal and the only fruit they had were apples They served scrambled eggs, sausage, bagels, packages waffles, yogurt and have different juicesThe pillows were way too soft and they didn’t have an extra pillow stored anywhereEverything else was fine Service was good

Ward Dougherty

A nice place to stay in the North Tampa AreaThis is a Marriott Brand hotel There are 1118 of these hotels across 828 cities in the 50 states This particular hotel is a 5 story affair located off the southeast corner of the intersection of I-95 and East Fletcher Ave

It can be a little tricky to get to the entrance since it is located on a side road with only one entrance off that road sandwiched between a Bob Evans and an Extended Stay hotel There is not much that is within walking distance of the hotel but it seems a fairly quiet area There appears to be plenty of parking and a covered entrance The lobby is very small but the staff was friendly There is a breakfast area with complimentary coffee in the morning and a workout room The room was a semi-suite with a seating area and a bedroom separated by a wall with an open entrance The front portion of the room had the restroom by the front door and a pull-out bed And the bedroom area had a low set of drawers, 2 side tables, and a large tv Overall, it was a nice hotel at a reasonable price

karlaa c

we booked this hotel because of the positive reviews but after getting there, it was just the opposite right when you walk in there is a musty smell that smacks you in the face- almost like cigarette smell the carpets are so old, and the atmosphere in general is just off

when we got to the room, same musty smell no towels in the bathroom, the water from the sink and the shower smelled so bad not to mention the disgusting couch! stains all over it and it was suppose to be a pull-out mattress after driving for 13 hours we were tired, so we ended up just spreading our blankets on the bed and left first thing in the morning i even woke up with a bite on the ankle would not recommend this place!!

Wonderful location for visiting Busch gardens, Tampa zoo, Ybor and sites Hotel staff were so warm and welcoming Multiple times I went down to the front desk with questions regarding our stay and surrounding areas and they always treated our family so well

Breakfast was very nice and room was very spacious and comfortable Certainly will visit again

Weaver Kristen

I stay in a lot of hotels for work and don’t usually take the time to write anything but this one deserves a couple notesGreat blackout curtain if you plan to take advantage of the noon checkout Also a dividing curtain inside the room if you’re travelling with different sleep schedules

Tables that easily move so you don’t have to use the ironing board as a second deskAnd my husband’s favorite, which sounds silly but: a shelf you can see onto so you’re not worried about leaving things sitting on it!A+ rooms and service, even in the middle of the night Will definitely seek out this chain in my travels from now on

Melissa Cornelius

I always stay at Homes 2 suites any time I travel It is always clean, has a pool, complimentary breakfast and I can bring my small papillon who I cannot board and do not have anywhere else to bring her The hotel makes a stay for business or vacation always feel like home

I’m so grateful to have these hotels and with locations everywhere it’s always my go to choice I was a bit disappointed about the location of this particular hotel because of the loud road noise and the girl that greeted me and checked me in was incredibly rude however, I didn’t see her again at all my entire visit All of the other staff members were incredibly friendly and helpful

The front desk attendant was extreme nice I don’t like to discredit good customer service because people can be people if you know what I mean but this stay was horrible I thought I was in a scary movie

I am an titanium elite member with Marriott so I’ve stayed in a few hotels (for business and for personal) This experience was a joke When I arrived to the room I already knew it was the best The building is extremely old and outdated (that was okay with me I am on business and didn’t care about being somewhere glamorous) but when I walked in the room seemed dirty The fridge was leaking and everything had water stains It looked like they either didn’t clean or they didn’t clean properly What made me complain was the brown stains on the sheets I immediately requested new bed sheets I finally got settled in and I’m dosing off but when I look up there’s a huge spiders next near the curtain with the spider and his hostages The next was so big, I could immediately tell he had been there for months It was so big I thought I was in a Spider-Man movie (not even being funny) I immediately requested to switch rooms It’s now almost 11 pm and I switch to a second room When I turn on the lights , roaches scatter There was even some that stayed on the counter and hung out as I walked through the doors of the apartment to the counter they were hanging out on (clear sign of infestation ) at that point I was scared to sleep at this place I could only imagine leaving my bags here for 5 days and taking an infestation home with me My reservation was cancelled and I was left stranded in Tampa

Sal

When I walked in to check in, I was greeted by two very friendly men I told them what I was there for and that I wouldn’t be able to make it to breakfast They offered me snacks to take for the next day

They also gave me extra coffee to make The room I was in was extremely clean and nice I had enough towels for the two days I was there The bed was comfy and clean When I was able to attend breakfast, it was being kept stocked by a super helpful women She kept everything nice and neat Checkout was easy and quick and I would recommend staying here to others The only downside is that there are no restaurants close by Maybe the closest was a ten minute drive I would stay here again

Matthew Reis

Absolutely fantastic! All the way around! I booked in advance on the Bonvoy app, and called to ask a couple of specific questions The GM, Jake, was extraordinarily helpful and courteous He and the entire staff made us feel welcomed and appreciated

The pool needed a light replacement, but the maintenance engineer worked diligently to make the pool available to us within no time The ladies in charge of breakfast kept the food fresh, warm, and the area clean The house keepers greeted us with smiles every time we walked by The rooms were clean, neat, and the linens were spotless I can not say enough good things about Ms Cynthia at the front desk She went above and beyond for my group as well as every other guest I saw walk in Its obvious that Jake’s hospitable attitude Is the standard at this location I highly recommend this hotel for anyone staying in tampa It’s close to 75, shopping, and restaurants It was such a wonderful experience going out of town but being taken care of so well

I spent 2 nights in this hotel while visiting family The mattresses, though a bit hard were fine, but the box springs on both beds must have been in ROUGH shape because they were clunky sounding everytime you moved The room was good sized and very clean though! The breakfast offerings were fine and as expected, but the whole breakfast area was kind of gross

There was no one wiping tables after guests left or wiping the counters in the buffet area! The tables were sticky from syrup, jelly, and juice and the buffet area was only lightly stocked I ended up just grabbing a waffle and some juice and eating in my room because I knew it was cleanThe front desk and housekeeping staff were all nice and I felt very safe at this location

Dani W

Pros: convenient location right off I4, gas and newish Bob Evans restaurant right next door, night and morning front desk employees were efficient and friendly, bed was old and bouncy but slept okCons: room smelled of old stale smoke (especially around the a/c unit and the drapes), carpet was old and had dark dirt stains, bathroom tile grout was old and cracked, toilet seat was looseI understand the hotel is due to be renovated in a few months, but by the smell and looks of our room, this is many years past due The price point of $150 plus tax does not represent a good value

Deb Hollaway

The good Check in was efficient through the Hilton app, although the digital key did not work Front desk staff was friendly and efficient in getting me keys

The room was spacious and physically clean The shower was hot with great water pressure, and it did not leakThe not so good The room decor needs updating It is dark with the color choices The bathroom had exactly 2 towels,washclothes and hand towels Ladies if you require a second towel for your hair, you will need to request in advance The breakfast was free but nothing great If you want a more filling option, Bob Evan’s is next doorThe really bad The room odor This use to be a smoker roomor someone has been smoking despite the rules not to We could not even cover it up with room spray It has seeped into the furniture and the carpet There was a cigarette burn in the sheers The bedspread had torn seams The office chair was delaminating The room chair had cushion that sunk right down on the hard frame, so it felt as if a board was poking through giving the sitter a wedgie There was no charging station options on one side of the bed, which in this century just isn’t acceptableNot sure this stay was worth the value and I am a diamond member We had reservations for 2 weeks from now for another concert event I cancelled and rebooked into Ybor City

The location was excellent, so many restaurants, shops, etc In the area Super friendly staff, free breakfast offered is one of the best Ive had , large variety of hot and cold items

There is also a little convenience type store down stairs by check-in desk which made out weekend stay even easier I could just grab a few drinks, snacks on way out or coming in and billed to room, which is always nice especially with kids to avoid the hassle making extra stops after a long day out and about Our room was very clean and beds were also very comfortable Highly recommended! Will be back on our next trip to Tampa

Coffee was amazing and served all day long They hosted 4 soccer teams this past weekend and were so welcoming They even gave out free Icecream to guests at night Hotel does need a little updating but overall it was clean and the friendly service made up for it Great job!!!

We haven’t even checked out yet but are incredibly impressed and thrilled with our stay here The gentleman who checked us in late last night was super welcoming even at the late hour The free full-size ice cream choices at night were are huge surprise and a wonderful bonus to the stay here

The rooms were super clean and kept Although we didn’t use the pool we could see it and it was spectacular! The morning breakfast didn’t disappoint! Wow wow wow! It was delicious and still kept hot and fresh even while arriving towards the end of the breakfast time The 1 minute pancake maker we’d like in our home!! Ha Thanks for the stay and we will be back!

I use to travel to Tampa often for work I’m not sure how I found this place I think I was just looking for the best price in the area, on a short notice

I never expected a place this nice for the price I have never paid such a low cost and received such high value at a hotelThe property had obviously been renovated and revamped from a previous chain hotel, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a renovation of this sort so tastefully done The rooms have been converted into very relaxing resort spa-like living space Bamboo vibe is very cool Breakfast was surprisingly quality, with quality flatware and cloth napkinsBravo to the staff for such a top-shelf restyle to the place It’s been at least four years since I was there last, but If I’m Tampa anytime soon, I already know where I’m staying

Hopefully advancement is coming soon …If your on a work trip… forget it NO WIFI ITS HORRIBLE We experienced a fire alarm 🚨 drill with no warning just disturbing! The side door is broken, I have to walk around or park far from my room just to get inside Never had a free breakfast that’s false advertising! The laundry room is a hit or miss

They have a cool staff I can say But if your planning a vacation no pool is here unfortunately! The owner should be more aware of guest needs and property issues it’s been a week, how does no one have WiFi for a week? Pay your bills Mr/Mrs! Hire more people or something keep the hallways clean it’s not a boutique it’s a basic hotel The area is perfect but the service needs more work I guess they never heard you have to spend money to make money cause it’s a fancy name with a cheap experience that’s a red flag

I cannot recommend the West Wing Hotel to anyone, and it definitely isn’t a “boutique hotel” I purchased a 4 night stay over Hotwire, and I thought I was getting a good deal as it was promoted as a 3 star boutique hotel Ha

Attempts have been made to upgrade its appearance to a more modern look at some point, but it’s an old motel for which a perfect analogy would be “you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear” It’s dingy, it’s full of mold, and service is poor For what you pay, you could certainly stay somewhere much, much nicer The first room given to us, we went straight back to the front desk because the mold was overpoweringly strong and my husband is very allergic to mold and mildew We were given another room that was marginally better; by the end of our stay, he was congested, coughing, and breaking out into rashes The room was dirty and wasn’t adequately stocked with linens When we asked the front desk for washcloths, we were told they were out of them Washcloths Not even towels Front desk staff was not friendly, and they told us that room service only comes when you’re ready to check out We visit Tampa a few times a year to see family, and we will never stay at The West Wing Hotel again

This was supposed to be a 1 star rating because it was supposed to be a 4 pm check in but they said they were backed up so our room was not ready until 6 pm Room was hot and AC temp stayed at 76 degrees for few hours The hotel was fully booked so there is no other rooms for us to switch to

On top of all that, we booked a king size bed room but we got a queen size bed I had 2 grown teenager kids with us Total 4 guests However, Leyla from the front desk turned the 1 star into a 4 star rating The whole situation from delayed check in to finding out the ac was not working properly to the wrong size bed given can throw any guests’ mood from good to bad After finding out Leyla was the only person working in the front desk, I didn’t want to complain anymore Working alone, she went above and beyond to get us a fan, gave us extra towels and bedsheets and didn’t give us any attitude Was apologetic and empathic of all the things that is going wrong I am a customer service supervisor I know what is good customer service She has exceeded my expectation in customer service The only reason I will ever come back to this hotel is because of a kind and attentive person like her Hotel mgmt, if you are reading this, please acknowledge what a blessing for your hotel to have an employee like her I will give her a raise and promotion for providing great customer service cause what she did is what all hotel industry needs in order for guests to return to stay at your hotel The reason why its not 5 stars is because you were very short on staff You can’t just have 1 staff member to handle the hotel She handled the check in, the issues we have with our reservation, the AC issue Plus I’m pretty sure other customers have requests too Sorry for the long review but want to say that your room was very clean too Good job on this too

Wow As a former Marriott Employee I expect a certain standard of customer service What happened? Went to check into our hotel and told it was cancelled by Orbitz(yes, so know I should book direct, but never had an issue) orbits tells us it is still active, so basically Marriott found a way to cancel a discounted room and refuse to walk us

I ask to speak to a manager and told there isn’t one on duty I tell her (Lydia) that it’s ridiculous to have no manager and that I needed her to call him, as I needed solutions, not just a so sorry as I have to kids in the car who are ready to be settled and get ready for bed an I just supposed to sleep in the parking lot Now, I was obvious angry, and used a very stern and loud voice, but no where near yelling Daniel the Manager tells the front desk to call the police Who, by the way, arrived while my child is going to the bathroomBy the way, I told Lydia that she should seriously consider working somewhere else, because she does not deserve to be thrown under the bus by her bossIf this is now Marriott, we won’t be returning, there is too much competition for that Likely, we will be making the 2 1/2 hour drive back home tonight, instead of spending the last of spring break with our kids, because every room is sold out right now

Hands down the nicest and most helpful staff I have ever encountered at a hotel (and I used to travel mon-thurs every week for work) Before I checked in I called ahead (because some of these reviews had me worried) and confirmed my reservation with Emily Emily was super nice and extremely helpful

I spoke with her on site also and she was just as helpful and nice While eating the complimentary breakfast, I found Jackie (hopefully spelled correctly) to be very helpful She went above and beyond to make sure my two young sons had waffles made just for them I found my room to be very clean I needed to extend my stay an extra day and the staff handled it with no issues at all The only negative thing I can say is that some lazy A-hole was smoking in his/her bathroom and the smell came out of the vents in my bathroom Not much the staff can do about it but it would be nice if there was some counter measures that could be taken with the ventilation system to prevent those types of issues

Hotel was pretty decent My room was big appeared to be clean There was a cigarette burn on a table

And a carpet tile had slipped where they tried to replace it A bed side lamp was out And only 2 towels in the bathroom One scary note about the shower It was wide open so water can hit the floor and they need a shower mat inside The shower floor is so slippery The hot breakfast was decent
