the room is basic but has everything needed for a short stay. The bed was comfortable. Didn't get a chance to eat breakfast but it looked more than adequate Coffee is always available downstairs - but I would have preferred a maker in the room The room , close to the elevator was a bit noisy

It was clean, the breakfast buffet was pretty decent and the staff was helpful and friendly in every moment We were 3 guests in the room and there was only one bathroom towel available. When we just arrived one of the crew members opened the room door without knocking first, that was weird, supposedly they received a call from our room but that's not a valid reason to open without knocking. The lights on the wall and the desk were not working properly and the electric outlets where not in good shape.

No toallas en la habitación. Ya que las lavaron no las enviaban al cuarto no tenían personal. Se terminó el desayuno y no lo repusieron pronto. Y al hacer check out no había nadie en recepción. Marque como 4 veces para avisar que deje la llave y que me había retirado, nunca contestaron el teléfono. El hotel está bien general pero si necesitan mejorar el servicio

In a city that is super hot we were having AC issues and they sent maintenance here and it broke again and I asked the front desk if they can give me a new room and they declined to provide me a new room but they want maintenance to come and check it one more time before they would switch me, at that point if I go back to a room with no AC I wanted a refund. FRONT DESK DOES NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. CANT EVEN SAY IT WAS BAD SERVICE IF YOU CANT EVEN GET A HOLD OF THEM.

The location was convenient. The hotel was not very clean and had an unpleasant sewer smell. The restroom condition was poor, and the beds and pillows were extremely uncomfortable and hard. Overall, the stay was disappointing.
- 3.5/5
Maybe it was just the week that we were staying there but the hotel was filled with men, like 90% weird men, didn’t feel safe at all.

En esta ocasión, a pesar que sólo fue 1 noche, me encontré con un hotel muy saturado con muchas personas en los alrededores y no se veían particularmente como clientes habituales. Referente a la habitación, el sistema de A/Ac hacía demasiado ruido (no lo normal para un sistema minisplit). En los pasillos y demás del hotel se escucharon también muchos ruidos durante toda la noche. El Wifi bastante inestable con desconexiones constantes y el desagüe de la regadera del baño estaba tapada; por lo que se volvió un estanque que poco a poco fue drenando.

The man at desk was hrlpful and checked us in half hour before check in time. The cleaning lady was extremely rude and they only gave us 2 towels instead of 3. Which we were 3 in our party. She asked you guys need more towels in a very rude way. No towels to dry our hands, no washcloths, no bucket for ice. All bad.

Reserve por el servicio de transporte al aeropuerto, se lo indique al recepcionista al registrarme, no me anoto en su libreta, regrese a confirmar y para entonces ya tenia mas gente antes de mi, al siguiente dia, el chofer no llegaba, le pregunte y su respuesta fue que a veces tenian el servicio y a veces no, termine llendome por mi cuenta al aeropuerto, mi vuelo era temprano, el transporte llego pero yo ya estaba con el otro transporte, no podia arriesgar no estar a tiempo para mi vuelo eramos 4 personas

On my second day, the Hotel did not have any towels for the bathroom. I complained to front desk and then to the cleaning people and management, and they apologized but said the Hotel sent all towels for cleaning and mis calculated. On my second day, I had to use my bed sheet and toilet paper to dry myself after the shower. This is not acceptable and I believe I should be reimbursed for that second night. First time in my life that I stay at a hotel that has no towels for the bathroom. Absolutely upset and Expedia should stay behind and reimburse me for the second night. The people at the hotel are aware of my complaint

The hotel overall is okay. I just wish that their check in would be faster. I waited for about 15minutes to get checked in. Also the shampoo was rancid. It did not make any foam. The hotel was clean and their breakfast was good.

I like the property and the customer service. I didn't like the understaffed service, the gentleman had to attend many customers all himself. He was very polite and respectful but being by himself made the check in process longer. I also didn't like the shower drain being partially plugged and I had to shower in a pool like.

Stayed for one night. The hotel is clean and they do have a friendly staff. The room was clean. However they only gave me one bath towel. The bath towel was too small. The free breakfast was quite basic. If you need to use their shuttle service, you need to reserve ahead of time. They only have a small van and it fills up quite quickly.
- 2/5
it all started when I tried calling the hotel to ask a question they wouldn’t answer the phones at all. Second customer service was very bad at check in , they even asked me to send them the receipt where I had pre paid my stay, which I thought was weird because it should automatically come up in their system! Third, the room was not what the pictures looked online. The bathroom situation was the worst part where all the water came out of the shower. This will be the last time I stay at a city express.

La regadera estaba tapada. La tapa del lavabo estaba quebrada. Almohadas muy pequeñas y maltrechas Un caos en el desayuno por falta de personal y de una adecuada organización. Apenas una mini botella de agua para dos personas. Ruidos durante la noche y desde muy temprano. La tv estaba mal colocada (chueca). Pésimo servicio!! Y nosotros somos clientes frecuentes.
