"I’ve been to this location before and it’s OK! The rooms are pretty decent. The help I get once I check in is great Shayla. She’s very welcoming great attitude, great personality. Great smile from star to end! To greet you like a friend, not a customer and that’s great customer service!!"

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed there for Ohanafest and while the rate was high based on demand, it was great to just have a 20 minute no hills walk to the venue. Place was great, no issues, clean room that matched the photos, and we really enjoyed the bar and all the Steelers fans right next door for Sunday football. Staff was great at the hotel and I felt the value was good given the festival pricing. We reserved less than two weeks before Ohana so pricing was sky high for the options that remained and I felt this was a pretty good deal not having to deal with rideshare to get there and back. We will definitely look to this place and plan earlier next year!"
