We booked this hotel for a 2 day stay based on their advertisement of free breakfast, cafe and bar included in the room price. There is no cafe. The bar was closed. The breakfast buffet did not exist. No adjustment to the price of the room for these amenities that do not exist. No adjustment to the resort fee they charge that also still advertise these non existent amenities. Room was neat, clean and the beds were good. The bathroom is tiny. The two beds in our room were also tiny...and short. I would say larger than a twin bed, but smaller than a double. Very minimal space around the sink for your personal items. No closet or drawer space for clothing. One small bar hangs above a shelf that has the room safe on it. Shirts hung on that bar hit the shelf so the lower portion will get wrinkled. The only handout we could find for nearby restaurants was down in the lobby not in the room and they only advertise asian restaurants.

I'm wondering if the Radec is a work in progress -- the bathroom looked to have been recently / nicely renovated, but the furniture in the room looked to be a bit worn, and the hallway colors were mismatched. The room had a fridge (no freezer compartment), microwave, a small coffee maker, room safe, iron, and table-top ironing board. No pen or memo pad, no info about the hotel in the room.

The busy street outside was noisy at times, as were the neighbors upstairs. The a/c unit worked well and provided some white noise to cover other noise.

I didn't use the hotel shuttle, but they have a couple of beautiful vans in the parking lot. There's a snack kiosk by the front desk. The restaurant and gym were closed due to COVID.

I end up renting four nights at this hotel, to be near the family. This is first night. I am writing this at midnight because I cannot sleep due to the constant traffic noise coming from the street. This hotel is situated near the busy street with many cars or trucks constantly driving by. The window should have been built with more sound proof. I do not know how i can handle next four nights?

If I could give zero stars I would. My room was in desperate need of repair. The bed headboard was peeling, carpet had stains all over it. I was afraid to walk on it barefoot. The room smelled like a thrift store, musty and mildewy. Windows are poorly insulated, the traffic noise kept me awake all night, along with noise from the next room because the walls are thin. The next day I asked to be moved to a room that was quieter and cleaner. Akane, the lady at the desk said I had to check out of the room I was in at 11 am and could check into a new room at 3 pm. She wanted me to remove all of my belongings from the room and haul around my luggage for 4 hours just so they could clean the room I was vacating and put another poor unsuspecting guest in it. Of course, I refused this ridiculous request and immediately checked out. She actually tried to charge me for another night even though I was checking out!Stay away from this place. Horribly maintained and horrible customer service.

I just stayed here on a business trip but would not recommend. Details are below.

Pros:
Check in staff was friendly, bathroom was clean, hotel is close to business area, room had a nice mini-fridge. Hotel has amenities for visitors from Japan (bilingual, Japanese breakfast and snacks, Japanese TV, etc).

Cons:
Room decor could best be described as "warehouse". Muted green walls, gray simulated wood grain vinyl tile floor (no carpet! more about that later), furnishings are a different simulated gray wood grain. King room was big but mostly empty space. Room had a bed, arm chair, desk and cheap chair, credenza. Lots of room to add more comfort type stuff like a footstool or a table to put your drink next to the arm chair.

Lots of nuisance maintenance / upkeep issues similar to a typical "chain hotel", but they usually don't have them all at the same time. Safe didn't work, showerhead had multiple options / settings but couldn't use them because it was stuck on one setting, one of the lamps worked only if you could get the switch in just the right spot, lamp shades didn't match, stains on the mattress cover and curtains, etc

But the biggest issue is the noise. Judging by the unpainted bits of trim near the floor and the gaps under the doors, the rooms previously had carpet. But now with the vinyl floors and apparently paper-thin walls, noise transfers from everywhere into your room. When the guy in the room next door uses his bathroom or watches TV, it sounds like he's in your room. This was especially annoying for me because the guy next door to me was most active from 1-4AM. Needless to say, I didn't sleep much. Also, the A/C units have a sheet metal cover that protects the outdoor portion of the unit. It also acts a speaker for any water that drips down and sounds like someone is hammering on your window.

At more than $200/night with tax, I will NOT be staying here again.

After weeks of trying to resolve an overcharge on their part, even when Hotwire confirmed the over charge they refused to reimburse the money owed. They used my credit card without consent. I had a nice stay but it is not worth being ripped off.

This hotel is greatly improved from the past, but the internet is still TERRIBLE! Good luck streaming Netflix or anything similar, as you will be buffering forever. First of all, they are using AT&T which is pure garbage for an individual and even worse when you’re sharing the connection with dozens of other people. It averaged 14 MBPS during my stay, which is slower is about 20 times slower than even basic cable internet service and about 50 times slower than Gigablast internet. Until they resolve this, it’s hard to justify this place as a viable business hotel when you’re going to struggle to get any work done, let alone connect to VPN or use videoconferencing services.

I could have given this hotel a decent rating, but they charged me for the breakfast buffet for 9 days, even though I didn't request it and didn't eat it. Then they promised to take the charge off the bill but never did. Very dishonest. What hotel wants to force you to pay for services not received? And then refuse to give you a credit?

Another problem is that the floor is too thin. The upstairs guest kept waking me up at night when they walked around.

The carpet is ugly, too. It makes the hotel look dingy.

It's in a good location but staff are not friendly or accommodating. My room was cleaned once in 6 days I had to look for towels myself. The place reeks of marijuana. The bed is in the middle of the floor with no headboard, no comfortable chair to watch tv in. Just miserable.The restaurant was not open, no Pool virtually no amenities. DO NOT stay here. I was 2 minutes past leaving a day early and they refused to refund the unused day, like it was my fault someone was in line in front of me. Just greedy owners. If you're not Asian you don't fit in so maybe a bit of discrimination came into play? Who knows. Severely dissatisfied !!!

Surprisingly great hotel in this price range. Room was large, bed very comfortable, room was very clean and looked as though it was recently renovated. Good desk space, which is important to me for business.

The bathroom has a washlet-the first time I’ve seen this in a hotel in this price range. And it has a large soaking tub. Shower and sink areas had good, eco-friendly products.

My only note is that the WiFi needs to be improved. Verizon has bad service in this area so I was dependent on WiFi for emailing and streaming. Both were problematic as the WiFi cut out a lot.

Overall a great stay and I enjoyed the Asian esthetic.
