Pros:

I liked the size of the room and the kitchen feature. I also liked the experience i had with the front desk agents. Also, i liked the cleanliness of the place.

Cons:

I didn’t appreciate how the TV wasn’t video game friendly. The remote did not have access to the input channel in order to allow for gameplay. Also, the TV only has a power button which further limits the access on the TV to switch channels.

Pros:

Overall it was clean and comfy enough for a two day stay.

Cons:

There were a lot of pet rules in their pet policy that was not posted - I.e. having to crate animals if you leave them in the room alone. We didn’t bring a crate because we didn’t know that was a rule. All policies should be posted on the site to be able to better choose a hotel.

Quality, Comfort, and Value for Short or Extended Stays
Pros:

The recent renovations are evident throughout the hotel. Everything felt updated. My room was clean, well appointed, comfortable, and most important to me, quiet. I was very impressed by the quality and number of resources available in my room to accommodate anyone who needs to stay for a few days or weeks (e.g. stovetop, microwave, oversize refrigerator and separate freezer.) The room also had a high quality, comfortable, and supportive recliner chair and newer flat screen tv that made me feel just like I was at home. I do want to single out Alondra at the front desk for outstanding, courteous, and professional service and care. She went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and to make sure everything with my stay met my expectations. Kudos to her for her excellent guest care.
