Trademark Hotel

Trademark Hotel

5/5 Excellent
New property is a great place to stay
"When I arrived, I was given an upgrade and taken to their new Enaki Suites property, about a five to ten minute drive away. The new property has spacious and modern suites with fully equipped kitchens, luxury bathrooms and comfortable king sized beds. The appliances are new and I was able to cook some nice comfort food for myself. Having said this, the breakfast, served in their rooftop restaurant, was good! I had excellent lattes and eggs cooked to request and fresh fruit and juice each day. The staff was outstanding. They remembered my name from the first morning and were prompt to help me, to correct any little glitches, and just generally make my stay comfortable. All of this was the case even while the property is putting the finishing touches on everything. I highly recommend this place! The manager, Rachel and her team are just super!"
