The perfect place to stay for a reset or staycation

Mon Aug 18 2025 17:36:39 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by roundtripwithrobynn

This is hands down one of the best hotels I have stayed at. I was quite surprised the entire time with the attention to detail. This is the perfect place for a reset or staycation. It isn't overcrowded and the staff is very friendly. Isaiah greeted me at the door and even escorted me to my room for a tour. He truly made my stay feel special the entire time. I wish I could remember the names of the guys who worked in IT. They set me up with an apple tv so I could watch streaming services that weren't available on the tv. I look forward to coming here again!

My experience from the moment we checked in!!

It started with the young lady that checked us into our room, Her ability to provide such a warm and welcoming experience from the moment you arrived, and then to offer the same level of consistent care upon your departure, truly sets the standard for excellent service. That kind of professionalism, paired with genuine kindness, is what elevates a good hotel stay to an unforgettable one.

Sun Aug 17 2025 17:49:40 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Md A

I just Checked into the hotel an hour ago . Hotel is absolutely clean and nice. Lobby is very welcoming. I have stayed many high places but this one is nice. Room is stunning. From bellmen to lobby associates and the lady who dropped bottled water in my room are excellent in their service and professionalism. I must mention about two individuals: Ms. Valeria and Ms Maricarmen. They are outstanding . Both are very courteous. Helped me with my request to find the room close to the elevator . I have little issues with high floor elevator. Ms Valeria even came out to help me with that . Outstanding service . Great place to stay . People like Ms Valeria must be recognized and that is why I decided to write few words about Valeria and maricarmen !! Excellent team choice by Lost Oak management Md
