"Life always throws curve balls, and my stay wasn't perfect. Breakfast options were slim, and there was a towel shortage. BUT THE STAFF MADE IT WORTH IT. Naresh was efficient and handled our check in smoothly even with the noisy construction outside. The gentleman with the braids was a sweetheart and was so patient when we ask about the area. And the maintenance guy came to our rescue when we blew a fuse, and was very polite and respectful when we had him fix the shower curtain rod. And THEN THE WONDERFUL Mahi at the front desk was so attentive to the guests and their needs. Plus she was so patient with my mother who is very old and asks the same things over and over. And when there was a towel shortage I saw her on every floor getting a count and working to resolve it ...even handling the grumpy guests with grace. I would have lost my cool but she stayed polite and calm and guess what ....they were completely content with waiting after dealing with her. Also, anytime you pass her on the property she is always warm and approachable. The world is an intolerable place....but certain people make it tolerable. This place was clean and the prices were very fair but it wasn't a luxury stay and there were some issues. But the staff, especially Mahi, was such a joy to be around. I will absolutely return and recommend this place."

"No complaints! The hotel was clean and the front desk staff was personable. I would stay again and would recommend it to others. "
