Many hotels provide complimentary internet access. The hotel offered free access to their service for members of their rewards program if one also booked directly with them. As I booked through Travelocity, they wanted a substantial charge even though I was a rewards member. I declined, and then found my cellular and WiFi useless on the property.

Onsite restaurant beware
Room was ok. Tub was peeling, tv kept turning off, and do NOT make a reservation with the onsite restaurant and pay the reservation fee. Apparently the servers are not aware of reservations and they kept telling me I was wrong and to pay my bill. I had to go to the hotel management to get the restaurant manager, who told me I was wrong until I provided the reservation email and they finally found my reservation number in their tablet. Also my original server never checked on us after food was delivered and left. Go somewhere else to keep.

The beds are very comfortable and all staff members were helpful and pleasant. I would give this hotel a 5-star rating if it were not for the strange $25 tax per day "credit", which is actually a fee. Use it or lose it, the "credit" added more than $200 to my overall lodging costs and I would have rather known the full cost upfront.

Location is 10 stars, but I have 4 overall, because they have this goofy policy, which I learned of during check in. The policy is to charge you upfront $25/day, then credit you $25/day when you use hotel service like their restaurants. Thought this was awful.

Overall, this place was great. It was well decorated and modern in the lobby area. Super convenient to lots of things. My two main complaints were the room smelled of feet so bad we had to buy something to mask the smell. The cleaners came so early while we were still getting ready and often never returned. When they did, they were friendly and did a good job. The other and bigger complaint is that the hotel is on a very busy corner meaning it’s extremely noisy all night long. There are MANY sirens and loud cars that can be heard quite loud making it hard to sleep. Perhaps the windows could be thicker. Anyway over all it’s a fine hotel but if I had it to do again, I’m not sure it would be my first choice.

Rooms and hallways are outdated. There was hair stuck to the ceiling, the air vent in the shower had lint and mold inside it. Found a contact on the floor in bathroom that wasn’t mine. Popcorn ceilings. Pillows are flat, blankets are thin. Convenient location, free popcorn and waters daily.
