Not restful
I’ve stayed at this hotel previously and it was comfortable and quiet. Rooms were modest but fine for a couple nights. This stay was a very different and disappointing experience. I think there was a change in management. There were stains on the pillowcases, no toilet paper holder, and all night long I could hear the people in the hallway slamming their door, knocking on the door, and yelling let me in. And, the breakfast was unappetizing and had very limited options. The location is convenient to the medical center which is why I chose to stay there, and the Uber shuttle was useful. However, I will not be staying there again.

Terrible Experience at Ylem I recently stayed at Ylem with my wife, and it was an incredibly disappointing experience. The cleanliness of the room was unacceptable. Our sheets were dirty and stained, and the bed itself was not clean. We found the overall condition of the room to be really filthy, which made it impossible for us to stay there. Due to these issues, we decided not to spend the night and left to find a different hotel. I cannot recommend Ylem to anyone looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay. The person at the front desk was friendly and understood the situation.

The front desk staff is friendly and helpful.The rooms were clean and comfortable. However, the person taking care of breakfast should be fired. There was no coffee, no plates, no napkins, no tongs to pick up toast just to name a few things we encountered. When we asked for basic stuff from her, we obviously interrupted whatever she was watching/doing on her phone. Hopefully the property manager realizes how poorly this person represent the hotel.

I can not recommend this property currently- the room looked NOTHING like the photos. They told me they were under renovation- so I asked to be put into another room, I was told all the rooms were this way. There was no door frame on the bathroom and bathroom had exposed nails and glue sticking out- there were no table side lamps, just one big overhead lamp so if you wanted to stay awake and read while your guest went to sleep, you had to keep fluorescent overhead light on. The food at breakfast was nice and staff seemed friendly. But the rooms do not look like photos. If the rooms are under renovations then at least make guest aware. Cause I was shocked when I went into the bare room, no art, no table lamps, no door frame in bathroom- it looked bad. Having at least a disclaimer, making guest aware. Also there is no maid service. We stayed 4 nights - a maid never came in and gave fresh towels or new toiletries. So the small sample size toiletries the hotel claims it has, is only for one night, as you don’t get maid service. Again, if this was communicated it would have helped! Many hotels do not have daily maid service as some guest don’t need it/ want it- and there’s usually note inside stating this, and saying if you want daily or bi- daily maid service simply put a card outside your door. But again, I was disappointed, as I did not know there was no maid service during the length of our stay. Overall the breakfast and polite staff did not make up for the rest.
