"I am a licensed exterminator and have checked many hotels, and I was very surprised with just how clean my room was during my stay. I inspect every room before I even put my bags down, and I found no crumbs under the bed, no dust on the bed frame, no stains and no smells or dead insects in the windowsills. The TV was large, the bed was comfortable and clean, the shower was hot and spacious, and everyone we spoke to was helpful and friendly. The parking was secure if not a little steep for lower cars, and the vicinity to the arenas and Dicks Burgers was great. I would highly recommend staying here and already have done so to my friends, and I can’t give enough credit to the incredible cleaning staff. Thank you for the great stay, we will be returning!"

"Everything was fine with the exception of household staff. My roommate left her purse in the room when we checked out. We were sitting in the lobby until 7:30 that evening until out flight out. When they cleaned our room they found her purse & turned it in to the desk. No one called us to report it. We didn't discover the missing purse until she needed her passport at the airport. She was going frantic trying to find where her purse was. The next afternoon, she finally got a call back from the office. Why couldn't someone call me to notify me they had the purse? We spent hours in the lobby then frantically called from the east coast looking for the purse (hotel, taxi, bar). Why didn't they just call me? They had my number."
