The front desk staff was cute and efficient. The proximity to various dining options, including a Starbucks and Chick-fil-A on the first floor, was a convenient perk. The hotel offered a very secure parking area, which gave me peace of mind throughout my stay.
I did notice some minor wear in the hallways, but it did not affect my room or my overall experience.

The room was adequately equipped with a microwave. that was useful.
The shower head was faulty. It definitely needed some repair. There was also mold in the bathroom. I reported this at checkout, but i only received a refund of $25.00, an insult.

checking in was simple, a DREAM. i received complimentary drink vouchers because of my hotels.com silver status. the location inside the mall made shopping so easy.
the room needed better maintenance. some areas looked worn and dated, despite being generally clean. a deeper cleaning could help restore the rooms to their former GLORY.

shopping mallgated parkingvalet serviceroom dust
The hotel is directly connected to a large shopping mall. This made accessing various stores and dining options easy. I also found the private gated parking quite convenient. It added a layer of security and ease to coming and going as needed.
The lack of valet service was a noticeable inconvenience, especially given the distance to the car park. I also observed some dust in the room, giving me concerns regarding cleanliness. This issue detracted from the overall quality.
