Location
Family-focused reviews and ratings
Despite some minor issues, the staff were amazing and the location was great. Would definitely stay again!
For a short stay, it was decent. Location was great! Staff were mostly very helpful but the room was small and needed some TLC.
Loved the location, the free shuttle service, and the friendly staff. The manager's evening with free snacks and music was a fun surprise!
My wife and I had a great time! The staff were super friendly, the room was comfy and clean, and the location was perfect. We especially loved being so close to the Hilton Village amenities!
Affordable and great location! The beds were comfy, and the free coffee and water were appreciated. I didn't see any cockroaches, despite some reviews saying otherwise.
