Service attitude is acceptable, the room is not very big, there is a bed less than 1.8m, the sheets are too thin. Located in the golf course, the view is good.

The room had a VERY strong cigarette smell--I had to run the air non stop just to filter it out. The curtains do not shut all the way, so light shines right in your face, and to make it even worse the closet doors are right across from the window and have mirrors on them. Underneath the bed (within standing view), I found a ********* joint butt so the cleaning crew is definitely taking shortcuts. The bathroom had paint peeling off the ceiling and no exhaust fan so I had to shower with the door wide open to use the mirror, and still had to wipe it with a towel. The carpet had big white stains in a few places and the door had some kind of residue--it looked like it had something dripping all over the top of it at one point. The front desk is NOT staffed 24 hours, but they keep the front door locked at night, and have a paper sign with handwritten message ”Please ring bell”. When it is staffed, the card reader is disabled and you have to ring the doorbell and wait for someone to open the front door. If it is not staffed, THEN you can use your room card and no one will answer the doorbell, which they never tell you. When I checked out and returned my room key, all I got was an ”OK, thank you”, and the cashier (Cashier ID: OJackson12) did not proceed to check me out at the register until I called back during my plane boarding and reminded her (she also took this opportunity to rudely remind me ”yeah, that was me”). THEN she sent me the email receipt. My receipt shows my checkout time as the time of that phone call--about 12:30, an hour and a half late checkout time when in reality I returned my room key at around 10:15.

We stayed here for 4 nights while moving. The bed was comfortable, the room was nice and quiet, and staff were accommodating. They have a laundry room on-site which was very convenient. The hotel is in a good location.

This hotel is conveniently located across from Live ****** which is great. They are clearly short staffed - there is no daily housekeeping and the bar was only open for one night as their bartender did not show up for his shift the next night. The check in line was long, only one woman working, but she never lost her smile and made it a pleasant experience. In fact, everyone we encountered was very nice. The room was average, weird layout and no microwave. The bathroom was gross. The showerhead leaked so there was a puddle of water in the shower when we got in. Then the seal on the door was broken so water leaked out everywhere. The wallpaper was torn and there was evidence of mold

I stayed here 1 night and was overall very happy with my stay. I felt like I was at a ”real” hotel, not the shabby, overused Hampton Inns I had been staying at on my drives from NYC to Florida and back. The staff was welcoming and professional and my room was a delight--clean, lovely towels, dual lighting for the beds (dim & regular), hot water than was hot immediately, and a very comfortable king bed. The TV had really good channels, including some premium ones. The waitress in the restaurant served me a late dinner graciously. The buffet breakfast is overpriced, but you get more for that price than you do at Hilton Garden Inns and the staff did a very good job of refilling the serving pans as they were emptied by the kids. I did had some issues, thus the 4 stars. Most of the people staying at the hotel appeared to be families traveling with children going to sports meets. There should be some way of keeping a part of the hotel for adults only, so you don't hear girls screaming down the corridor at 12:30am (and yes, they did wake me up). One elevator was broken, incurring long waits, and I see from other reviews that this is a continuing problem. Also, the toilet paper needs to be upgraded!

I’m surprised at the reviews of past customers moaning about the way “maid” service is managed here. I think people are selectively hearing when they check in and/or fail to read the placard in the bathroom that expressly tells you that if you want fresh towels, bring your old ones to the front for exchange. Methinks management has had quite a few towels “walk” and this is a method for controlling inventory. We were told at check in that the hotel is an extended stay property and we would NOT have daily room “maid” service and since we are able and know how to do so, we made the bed ourselves and we were fine with it. It was actually quite painless. The room was quiet, the beds very comfy. Kitchenette well stocked with utensils for an extended stay though we didn’t need to use it much. The Guest Center with (free to use!) washers and dryers was a pleasant surprise and the “honor system” to purchase snacks was a nice touch. Free coffee and juice much appreciated. We found all staff we encountered unfailingly polite and helpful. My only gripe: we paid $25 to have our dog stay with us. The dog walk area out back was strewn with broken bottles, so we had to be very careful where we stepped. And a few male guests sat in their vehicles out back to drink and smoke at night; this created a bit of an intimidating atmosphere. Note to management: you are pet friendly, and if I’m paying to keep my pet, you need to provide a clean & safe area to take him, that’s why I can rate you only 4/5.

It's beautiful, clean and modern, but not one you'll want to stay at if you have an early morning flight. We didn't know the shuttle didn't start until 7 am (odd) or we would've booked another hotel. When you have other travelers complaining about this, you may want to reconsider your hours. PRO'S: I will say the lobby and room were beautiful modern eye candy. It was clean, the bathroom luxurious, the bed like a dreamy pillow and the staff courteous. We only spent about 6 hours there, so not enough time to try the food, breakfast or the gym- which looked upscale with many machines and weights. CON'S: As others have mentioned, the halls can be NOISY. We should've known something was up when we had to sign a disclaimer upon check in that we wouldn't have a party in the room. A first! Having said that, the walls/door seem to be a bit thin. The drunken people heading to their rooms at 2 am sounded like they were in our room as they passed. A total bummer when you have to leave for the airport via Lyft ($30) at 4:15 am . Here's a thought: Maybe one hallway on the top floor could be reserved for airport travelers or those requesting quiet rooms (since you're an airport hotel?). That way you can ensure your patrons a good night's sleep. Fellow WHITE NOISE LOVERS? For those that depend on a hotel's thermostat to have a constantly running fan option, this does not. Again odd, as we rarely run into this with hotels. The fan will turn off when the temp is reached, leaving you susceptible to any hallway noise. It would be great if you had a few portable fans available or even one tucked in each room like you do hairdryers. Also, if you're a hot sleeper in July's heat you cannot adjust the AC to any lower than 64 degrees. Will we stay there again? Perhaps if we don't need an early shuttle and ask for a quiet room. I hope the management will consider these comments, because this hotel could be amazing if it addressed a few areas.

The hotel was very beautiful. The bar and restaurant were comfortable but the drinks were very overpriced. The hotel accommodated an early check in without a charge which was a bonus. They did charge a $200 fee - which will be returned to my account, but I was not expecting that charge.
