"Nice hotel and great room. The service was good, but the food was just fair. The rooftop lounge was barren and seemed unfinished. The walkway to the restaurant wasn't open, and even when it was, it wasn't accessible from baggage claim. Once you've left the secure area, you must take a shuttle, which was a major design flaw.2019-03-24"

"I was extremely impressed with this hotel. Close to MOA and the airport, and within walking distance of the mall. The rates were reasonable. For me, it was the little things, like real glass drinking glasses, ample towels, and a TV in each room.

"I had a terrible experience at this hotel. I wasn't able to check in because my ID was expired, so I had to call a friend, who drove to the hotel and booked the room using her credit card and ID. Because of this, I didn't get to my room until 9 PM. At 11:30, I went down to look at the amenities, and the clerk followed me around and asked what I was doing; when I said I was just looking around, he said, "There's nothing to see." Though my initial reservation was for 3 nights, the check-in clerk had changed it to 1 night, so I was asked to leave the next day since no other rooms were available. Stay somewhere else.2019-10-13"

Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
