Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “Rooms are clean and the food is delicious.” 7
- “I would not do that walk at night. Also note that getting late night food here is difficult. Restaurants are just not open that late.” 15
- “If the hotel hadn't been advertising their affiliation with the tournament, I could maybe understand how they could be overwhelmed by a breakfast rush. But, in this case, they should have known this would happen, and yet were completely unprepared for it. Very poorly done.” 10
- “Unfortunately, the food was no better than an ordinary hotel buffet, and much of it was **old, dry, and unappetizing. It certainly wasn't worth $15 per person.” 10
- “looks like a pretty good selection of coffee here” On camera113:12
- “Rooms are spacious and with plenty of light, breakfast is the usual eggs, bacon, potatoes and bread.” 10
- “The room was fine. It suffered from (1) poor lighting (they've adopted, for some of the fixtures, the terrible Marriott practice of dim LED lights), and (2) sink in the bedroom.” 10
- “First of all, the deluxe room that I am in, is SMALL. Out of expectation, the deluxe room is relatively small for such a premium hotel where there is no space to walk in the room.” 9
- “is this like a giant hairball Oh gross look at that Wow oh I've never found a hairball in a room before it's too bad this place feels like spotless everywhere else they had to have one miss I guess this chair wasn't clean between guests so lovely” On camera117:50
- “When we got into our room, the complimentary bottled water that was provided was **already opened and had clearly been drank from. That is extremely concerning from a cleanliness and hygiene standpoint, and it made us question how thoroughly the room had actually been checked and prepared for our arrival.” 10
- “The room was clean and peaceful.” 7
- “Bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows, good shower pressure and big tv to plug my HD stick.” 10
- “The rooms are not super clean. Not the worst but could definitely be improved. Dust etc in between furniture. What really bothered me is the hard floors seem to just be dusted not actually mopped. I dripped some water in front of the sink so I grabbed a wash cloth to wipe it up and the white wash cloth was now gray with dirt/grime.” 10
- “The only thing they're really missing is some form of patio furniture out here so you could sit and enjoy the view” On camera118:52

- “The TV set is placed in a very old looking cabinet which does not suit the room at all. Looking like a white elephant, it can actually gives space to the room if replaced with a smaller and modern table.” 9
- “speaking of size wow this room is big for an urban location and this place is huge” On camera112:16
- “Of course, that means if the wife gets up early to get ready the whole room is lit up since otherwise she can't use the sink. Since I was alone, this wasn't a problem, but "sink in the room" is a terrible design.” 10
- “I agree, it's actually a great quiet area to stay and you can get anywhere you like very quickly!” 15
- “The garage elevator was out of service, yet we were still charged $31 per day for parking and had to use three flights of stairs.” 7
- “the slider is in excellent condition like when this thing is closed you can't even really tell that you have a sliding door it's nice and soundproof” On camera119:02
- “I've stayed there, it isn't bad but please note if you get a suite there is no elevator so you'll be carrying luggage up and down the stairs.” 15
- “and so if the visual wasn't enough we got the auditory where it seemed like the guest in the room immediately above us were like holding track in field events or something constantly sounds of running back and forth well into the we hours of the morning” On camera1217:24
- “so I picked one here on the top floor pretty nice looking corridors here” On camera111:10
- “We recently stayed here as contractors worked on our condo and it is a nice hotel, with kind and helpful staff.” 7
