    We arrived late in the evening after a long drive. We were greeted by a wonderful young lady I believe her name was Davina. She was so kind , accommodating and helpful. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and that we were comfortable! The property was perfect, clean and well maintained. We would definitely stay here again and again. We didn't get to use the pool but it looked so nice and inviting we had wished we could have taken a dip!

The breakfast is just right, and a balance of items. However the coffee maker machine has a long line due to the making per cup of coffee make time. Please consider adding an additional coffee maker machne.

    In general it is a new hotel and it is clean. The room beds were *not* comfortable. The breakfast was good. The cleaning maid did not replace bathroom essentials and we had to ask for bathroom tissues at the front desk, who were not responsive in a friendly manner - they asked us to come down to get the items we needed in a voice that sounded a bit irritated by the request. The major issue is that the front desk is not friendly and welcoming, and I did not see a single smile though I interacted with them multiple times over five days. Also had a bad experience with the security staff when I was sitting in the front area late at night around 1:30 am, and he was quite rude to me. The front desk also does not know basic customer service by actually not looking at the customer with basic communication skills like speaking in the right tone, looking at the guest in the eye and being friendly. Other than the negative customer service experience it is an acceptable hotel, but for me it was not exactly comfortable.

    1. TV size - the rooms were large in size and could use larger TVs to be able to get a better viewing as they were a little small for the viewing distance. 2. Dial up the water pressure. Maybe it's just me but I prefer showers with stronger water pressure. Other than these two fairly minor shortcomings, every thing else was top notch and kudos to the front desk staff.

    We didn’t like that it didn’t have a regular closet to hang things! It would have been nice to have drawers with the nightstands, or a dresser with drawers and a mirror! We had trouble calling the front desk!

    I called the front desk and spoke with a very helpful person who told me that the maintenance man would be Available tomorrow. Was I interested in changing rooms? She allowed me to take a look at the room before she made the room switch. I love them for fixing the problem without being awful about it. With the room change, that resolved our toilet problem and we went to bed. The bed is comfortable, the mattress was not too soft nor too hard, so medium mattress and I didn’t want to get out of it. The breakfast served was simple but delicious, Scrambled eggs or white eggs and brown rice. There was cereal and milk, miso soup, fresh fruit, a little yogurt parfait bar, toast, bagel, muffins and coffee to name a few items. Overall our stay was pretty good. Will stay again.

    I reserved 2 rooms. Due to Expedia’s technical difficulties, only one reservation went through. I wasn’t aware of this until I was on a plane to this hotel. The hotel and Expedia wouldn’t cancel. And ended up driving home after all day flying because the hotel couldn’t provide us with another room since they were full. And we couldn’t fit 7 people in 1 room. Expedia AND the hotel refused to refund us. Even though Expedia was the issue. Instead they wanted us to either book second room at a seperate hotel, and seperate my family, or book 2 rooms at another hotel and lose what I was charged for the Element. This was a bad situation all around

    The Hotel staff was amazing!! front desk, breakfast and Happy hour staff are the best and extremely helpful. only thing that I am disappointed on is that the daily parking fee was not disclosed at booking or when I checked in, and I did not notice it under the amenities. this is an extended stay hotel, and I did notice my room had a body odor lingering. It dint bother me much but it was noticeable eventually I bought an air fresher since I did not want to move rooms. lastly, they do not offer any Spanish channels on their regular tv guide. I was quite shocked and asked the front desk as well and they did not find the channel either. I have never been to a hotel that did not offer at least one Spanish channel. I am bilingual and I like to stay current by watching the News in Spanish and I was not able to do this at this hotel. unfortunately, due to the nature of current politics I found this to be extremely dishearten and made me sad to be honest.
