Pros: We stayed in the King suite, and the room was spacious with high ceilings, it had a nice kitchenette and a comfortable bed as well. We would stay there again!
Cons: We could definitely here the cleaning person vacuuming in the room above us and people talking in the parking lot. The walls seem pretty thin. But luckily it wasn't too early in the morning.

Pros: We arrived early and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. They helped us by holding our luggage until we were able to check in later.
Cons: There was no shuttle. We had to get on the bus with our luggage to get from the train which was about 1 1/2 miles away. The window in the room did not have any curtain to close for privacy and light blockage.

Pros: Breakfast was good, room was fine.
Cons: there was a problem checking in, Booking.com according to the staff listed the room under Wm Jackson(guest), not Lydia Bourne.
In spite of giving them my confirmation number, which they said was Booking.com's number and it didn't show in their system. This is the first time something like this happened, is there an explanation for Booking.com not to have the information correct and for the confirmation number to be associated with the guest name and not the person making the reservation?

Pros: Vending Machines.
Cons: 1- Lack of security precautions: Location is in an area full of"homeless" people. One morning I was in my car in the hotelparking and one homeless person got inside the parking area and wassearching among the trees. I immediately reported it to the receptionemployee and told her about his dangerous existence but surprisingly shedid not do anything after seeing him on her surveillance camera screen.I felt insecure every time I go inside the parking. There is no gate onthe hotel parking to prevent the residents from any car thefts (which iscommon in the area and happened to me). 2- During check in, the hotelcharged me 20% higher than the "booking.com" total amount.They did not tell me about it until it came to me from the credit cardcompany. When I asked them, the hotel supervisor said that it is for"incidentals" and will be returned after few days from checkout. This was never written in the "booking.com" hotel policy.It is the first hotel that I have been to in the us & Europe thatcharges for incidentals upfront. 3- Printer in the Business Center isout of order for the whole Ten days I stayed in the hotel. Wheneverguests want to print a single document they have to send it to thereceptionist who may print it for the guest. In one occasion, I had towait 12 hrs until the receptionist changed shift to get my documentprinted. I was given a “strange” reason by the receptionist that thereception’s computers network is down while the network for the businesscenter computer was ok. 4- Elevator is extremely slow, old and most ofthe time dirty.

Pros: I loved the conveniences of free parking, free complimentary breakfast, and on weekends, they make concession for late starters and end breakfast at 10 am, with free juice drinks and coffee all weekend long (or maybe they forgot to turn off the machines? I guess to our advantage!) it was more for all the conveniences it offered, that made the whole experience very relaxing.
