Great Location

We stayed at the hotel for one night as we were going to the airport next morning. It was close to the airport and had a shuttle. The drivers were friendly and very helpful. The front desk lady was very pleasant. Our room was very modern, clean and the beds were very comfortable.

The staff was great! They helped me with figuring out my car rental issue when I checked out. The property looks new and the room was nice. The location is great! It’s next to the City Mall and walkable to it. I didn’t know about the casino next door until I got there. However, the area is very quiet and safe even with the casino. I had two issues while staying there: 1. My bed frame kept making noises whenever I’d move around. I think the base of the bed isn’t secure. That was kind of annoying as the noises were loud and I’m a small person. I did inform the front desk when I checked out and they said they’d fix it. 2. The hotel is not very sound proof. The walls are very thin. I heard the person next door snoring though it was faint. The highway being next to the hotel is not ideal if you’re a light sleeper like myself. In the morning, I heard all the conversations from the room next door. I don’t even think they were speaking loudly. It was just regular conversations. So, if you’re super sensitive to noises, this might not be a good option. Other than these two minor issues, I’d recommend it.
