"Front desk assistants were kind, helpful, and even offered to move me to another room when issues came up. Customer service was definitely the highlight of my stay.
Unfortunately, I did have a small plague of ants in the room. I understand this can happen during certain times of the year, so I chose not to move rooms, but I ended up with about 200 ants happily trailing to my dog’s food dish. Lucky me.
I was also disappointed in the cleanliness of the room and hallways. The hallways did not appear to be vacuumed, and the sinks had noticeable hard water rings with brown and black discoloration. Maybe I noticed it more because I had recently dealt with the same thing at home.
The beds were firm, made nicely and felt crisp, but there were still visible washed-and-dried stains remaining on the bedding.
Another issue was the smell in the room. Food odors from either reheated meals or previous guests lingered heavily — a strong curry/spice scent that hit every time I entered the room.
The water machine had great-tasting water. I did not try or see the breakfast, so I can’t comment on that.
The hotel is located near Dodge Street just across the frontage road, so traffic noise is definitely noticeable.
Overall, this place excelled in customer service and appears to be undergoing newer remodeling updates. However, the cleanliness issues and ants really affected the stay. Also worth noting: pet-friendly accommodations cost an additional $20 per night. :o"
