Severe Health Hazard, Unacceptable Downgrade – Child Forced to Sleep on the Floor
Cons:

We booked and paid for a Queen Suite with 2 Queen Beds for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children). Our stay was an absolute nightmare:
​Health Hazard (Room 305): Upon arrival, room 305 had an intolerable, toxic odor of mold. It was unsafe for children to breathe. We had to wake up our sleeping children late at night (around 9:15 PM) to demand a room change.
​Downgrade & Severe Inconvenience (Room 323): The replacement room provided contained ONLY ONE BED instead of the two beds we paid for. The hotel failed to provide extra beds or adequate sleeping arrangements.
​Inhumane Conditions: Fortunately, we had a portable travel crib in our car for one child, but our second child was forced to SLEEP ON THE FLOOR on a mattress/blanket!
​Horrible Management & Ignored Complaints: At checkout, the front desk refused to assist or issue a refund, claiming the General Manager (Zachary) was unavailable. We emailed GM Zachary and contacted Booking.com customer support, but both completely ignored our emails and messages.
​Paying $205 to have a child sleep on the floor due to mold hazards and a room downgrade is completely unacceptable. We are forced to dispute this charge through our credit card. Avoid this hotel at all costs!

Overall, it was good, despite some inconviences.
Pros:

Breakfast was great, so many choices and fresh blueberries!
The shower was really good. The staff was so friendly. We were offered bottled water upon checkout.

Cons:

We were on the first floor and would ask for an upper level floor next time because the cars parked outside were right outside our window. It was noisy when cars came and went. The beds were uncomfortable. The AC was really loud so I had trouble sleeping.

החדר מיושן ,מזגן ריצפתי רועש, נאלצנו לכבות אותו. ארוחת הבוקר מוגשת על חד פעמי והמבחר עלוב ביותר.

Our son will hopefully be attending college in the area but we will do everything in our power to not stay here again un
Pros:

The staff was friendly and the cookies were warm.

Cons:

Our room was a disaster, curtains were ripped and hanging down thus not able to close, dark stains on the carpet near the sink, moldy peeling paint in the bathroom etc. The outside is worn down and some windows have a permanent opaqueness. The property looks very tired.

We would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

Reception was great, check in and check out was easy. Everything worked. Room was comfortable, liked that there was an extra sitting area/kitchenette/working desk area, and a separate vanity from the shower/toilet.
Also, the coffee and hot water offerings in the lobby was a plus! A short walk to the mall and restaurants and close proximity to the highway made it very convenient to travel. The breakfast buffet had many options.

Cons:

The only thing about our visit that I wanted to comment on re: an improvement, is that the hot food offerings on the breakfast buffet was cold: the pancakes, bacon and potatoes temperature wise were below lukewarm. I could not eat it.

It was cool
Pros:

Property was clean and had a nice view. It was quiet

Cons:

The furniture in the room.. light fixtures, toilet paper holder were not secure despite appearing that way. The TV was not a standard TV where you had a guide and had to push the channel button up and down..
