basic expectationscut nailscheck-in time
The breakfast was acceptable. It was nothing extraordinary. It met basic expectations, at least.
I found cut nails on the sofa. I suppose the previous guests had a manicure party. The room wasn't ready when I arrived. I waited about 45 minutes past the check-in time.

excessive feeslow check-in
I found some aspects quite disappointing. the parking fee of over $30 per night felt excessive, especially considering the available space. furthermore, the check-in process was slow. I waited for 15 minutes just to be attended to. the staff member then took an additional 6 minutes to finish a phone call before assisting me. this delay was unacceptable.

clean room near shopping center
modern designconvenient locationpatio cabanas
The rooms had a modern design. i found the location convenient near a shopping center (i did some quick shopping). i especially liked the fire pits. They added a nice touch. the pool looked quite big. the lower rooms even had patio cabanas right outside the pool area, which seemed pretty neat.
The soundproofing wasn't great. I could hear some noise from neighboring rooms.

awesome hotel stay!
great spaceclose parkingrestaurant stylelong wait
the room had lots of space, and it was super close to the pool. i also really liked how close the parking lot was to the front desk! the restaurant style was amazing. plus, it's just a short walk to shopping and places to eat.
The check-in experience needs work. i waited a long time. The staff seemed a bit disorganized and busy with other things.
