Positive Reviews
positive:
Excellent location
Guests have consistently rated the location of this hotel highly, finding the setting convenient for events at the stadium and convention center as well as offering a great base from which to enjoy family fun at the Six Flags parks. Dining spots within walking distance are fairly limited but there are many within a short drive.
positive:
Clean and spacious accommodation
The size and cleanliness of the studios and suites have proved satisfying to previous guests, many of whom also note that they found the accommodation to be appointed with a good selection of amenities. Having the option to prepare in-room meals has added convenience and cost-savings.
positive:
Friendly service
Previous guests have typically found the staff at this hotel to be friendly and welcoming. There are a few exceptions but these are few and far between and certainly not typical of the standard of service you can expect to enjoy here.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Some maintenance issues
Despite finding the studios and suites clean and spacious, guests also note some examples of poor maintenance. Reported issues include broken tiles in the bathrooms, leaking showers, and noisy fridges. Overall, the hotel sounds like it appears fairly dated.
negative:
Reports of noise
Guests have mentioned that they found the general environment here fairly noisy. The hotel is pet-friendly, so hearing dogs barking is fairly likely. Guests have also mentioned some noise bleed from adjacent rooms and shared areas, so it seems that soundproofing could be improved.
negative:
Mixed feedback about breakfast
Guests have varying opinions about the breakfast here . If you get down early, then it's unlikely you'll encounter any issues but arrive later and you may find the breakfast area crowded and disorganized. A single staff member is often seen to be responsible for keeping the area clean and the buffet topped up.
