Room was cramped and facing the car park - cars were right in front of our “patio” and it was noisy early in the morning. Perhaps we got this room because we booked on Expedia - better to book direct and specify a better room for a few dollars more.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The front desk staff were very unfriendly. Only one of the five people we saw at different times during our stay there made an effort to say hello or goodbye when we were passing. When we left, no one asked how was your stay and no one said thank you for coming. The front desk set the tone for the whole stay. The cleaning staff were friendly and the service was good in the restuarant. but the food in restaurant was bland and subpar. The "river" outside our door was dry. We were also not welcomed when we walked into the dining area to try to find a table. The room was quiet and clean, but it was not a fun, inviting, or welcoming place to stay. We wouldn't go back.

Great staff and Restaurant - Very loud and noisy
Staff and restaurant were great! Very noisy hallways, paper thin walls and loud homeless / drug people on walkway near hotel. These bums had their own speaker playing bad music that was heard late at night through windows. Noise woke me up a couple nights.
