Kind staff but needs some improvement
I was pleased because they allowed me to change my stay from 5 days to 4 days. However, when I arrived to the hotel, my room type was not available and I had to stay in a different room type than the one reserved. The receptionist promised a partial refund, but that never happened.
I was moved to my room the next day. Although my correct room type, the AC was not working, and the system to hold the curtains (due to a curved window) was not working and was being held with tape. This meant I had light on my eyes as soon as the sun rose in the mornings and the room was never truly dark.
I did speak to someone at the hotel about this but nothing else was offered other than the complimentary hot breakfast.
The few staff I interact with was kind thou.

You get what you pay for
This wasn't the newest hotel and that showed with some stains and scuff marks around the room and common areas. The gate made it a little harder to get ride shares in and out of the city as well. However the staff was amazing and it's a good location if you're going to a show at the Ziggo Dome.
