I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the hotel. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and had a very comfortable king-size bed. However, it was not stocked with enough coffee or cups for more than one day, which was a bit of a downside. The location was just perfect, surrounded by a variety of dining and shopping options, making it convenient for guests wanting access to restaurants. The service, though friendly and helpful, had a few hiccups with missing bathroom essentials and lamps not plugged in.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were excellent with top-notch amenities and were ready when we arrived, but they could improve on stocking enough coffee and cups for multiple days. The service was exceptional, especially the evening staff who knew their job well and made our experience extraordinary, although they could communicate better about mask policies. The location was superb, within walking distance of numerous restaurants and shopping places, making it very convenient. The dining experience was a bit lacking, especially with kids, but overall, a great stay.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were excellent with top-notch amenities like a spacious layout, spotlessly clean environment, and a super cozy king size bed. Plus, the large TV and convenient appliances like the fridge and microwave were a great touch. The ice machine room was just a stone's throw away, making things even more convenient. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to cater to our needs, especially at The Bistro where we felt truly welcomed. The location was ideal for both relaxation and convenience, being close to a large shopping mall and a variety of dining options. It even had a unique touch with a fire pit and a large screen TV outdoors for ultimate relaxation. On top of that, access to I-75, malls, restaurants, and other necessities was a breeze, offering semi parking for specialized vehicles like our racecar stacker and RV. The dining experience was a bit lacking, especially for families with multiple kids, but the globally inspired dishes in the hotel added a nice touch. Overall, the hotel's facilities were top-notch, offering everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
