Only giving 2 stars because the linens were crisp and clean. Entry gate to the parking area is closed and locked. Had to park in front of the gate blocking it to go to the front desk to check in and ask them to open the gate as I was blocking another car from entering. The front desk said they emailed me the code to enter the gate. Doubled checked my email again and I never did receive an email from them. Entering the parking structure is very precarious as the entry way to and from the parking stall is very narrow, barely enough room for another car going the opposite direction. Upon opening the door to our room there was an overpowering odor of a cleaning solution like Lysol. They must have used an entire bottle on our room. I can understand being sanitary but you still need to be able to breath comfortably. The bathroom door sticks so badly you need a hockey move called a hip check to get out. The beds were very uncomfortable, like sleeping on a carpeted floor. Noise from the freeway and other guests in the hallway kept us up most of the night. Was way overcharged for a 1 night stay, this room was not worth half what we paid.

Eh.
The staff was friendly at check in. I did have a hard time getting a parking spot to check in. They said I got the code through an email but I didn't see it. The bed was not very comfortable but it was really clean.

Crushed!
Disappointing… there was no coffee maker or any snacks to buy.. being a new hotel, it had zero incentives.. too expensive to have nothing! There was no room service so we didn’t get clean towels. Will not be booking here again

The location is great, rooms are on the small side, but the bed is comfortable. For the same price, which was very good, i would stay here again.

The place is nice don’t get me wrong, only thing is no tv service unless you have your own Netflix, Hulu, etc. Not even just the local channels so that sucked. Also the AC is kinda weird, there’s an app involved.

Liked: Cleanliness
My room was on the 7th floor and VERY noisy from the major highway just behind the hotel. The windows were closed but the traffic noise came thru the window shaker. There is no free TV or I should say no network TV. I was looking forward to a Thursday night football game but no such luck. The room was clean but small. The sink was plumbed with hot water on the right & cold on the left but was easy to figure out when the hot water never got hot.

The property appears to be working on a remodel. It meeds some more work but they are helpful and friendly. In the near it can be a gem in Hillcrest.
