My stay at the hotel was really nice overall. The rooms were super clean and had a gorgeous view of A Mountain, but I had to wait an hour at check-in which was a bit inconvenient. The service was great, with the staff being helpful and friendly, especially Shi'loh at the front desk who went out of their way to assist us. The location was mixed as it was surrounded by an industrial park and condos, but it was right next to the lake for exploring and near the Desert Botanical Garden. The dining experience was fantastic with unique homemade food selections, although a bit pricey at $15 per person. Facilities were good, offering dry cleaning services and commercial shops on-site.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences and a few drawbacks. The rooms were spacious and had a nice modern look, but unfortunately, my room wasn't ready upon arrival. The service was friendly overall, but there were some issues with confusion over my booking and parking arrangements. The location was lively and convenient, although the industrial park surroundings were a bit unexpected. The dining options, while not traditional, offered a unique selection of homemade-style dishes. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were surprisingly comfortable, especially the wood floor with a king bed. They were modernized and the bathroom and shower were great. The service was top-notch, from the warm welcome to the knowledgeable staff. The location was vibrant, perfect for access to restaurants and bars but still quiet enough to relax. The dining experience was amazing with delicious drinks and fresh, tasty food. The facilities were excellent, making my stay even more enjoyable.
