For the price, you definitely have nothing to say about it. Everybody was enjoying the breakfast. It smells so good you can beat $13 breakfast like this. The only thing I will say the hall way smell from the carpeting. It’s very strong. They try very hard to give a better smell, but it’s not very pleasant but like I say for the Price, nothing to say.

The room is nice, but the bed sheet was dirty, with a few pieces of hair on it and some make-up residuals. I called the front desk to request a change of bed sheet, the front desk said there is no housekeeping services at that time so I'd have to change my own sheet... The front desk did not even apologize for the dirty sheet, and she was just standing by the door watching me taking off the dirty sheet. The garage parking card also DID NOT WORK. It worked for the first time when I entered the garage, but then it shows status invalid when I tried to drive out. I had to ask for help using the kiosk and have them check my pass number. Later I asked for a new pass and it still did not work, so I was stuck at the kiosk for ten minutes waiting for them to validate stuff. Staffs were friendly, but there were some problems that need to be solved.
