great location wide selection steep ramp coffee machine

The location was great. I could walk to restaurants easily. The room lighting was good. There was also a wide movie selection!!!

The parking garage has a very steep ramp. I needed to turn a corner at the top. It was nearly impossible to see any oncoming vehicle. The only electrical sockets within reach of the bed were for the coffee machine.

Satisfactory stay

nice sized room excellent location bad smell limited places

the room was nice sized and well designed. the location is excellent. i liked that the hotel always has that fresh smell.

my room smelled really bad, and i was then moved to a disability room with limited places to put toiletries. the water from the shower made the bathroom floor wet.

a decent place

friendly staff helpful staff central location one bedroom residence damp smell air conditioning rainforest

The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great and central to town. The one bedroom residence really was nice. I liked everything about the place.

the room smelt DAMP. This was explained as being near the rain forest. The air conditioning needed to be kept on constantly to help eliminate the smell, it never goes AWAY.
