Nice property, great location. Hotel was a little grungier than the pics online make it seem and the rooms are quite small, but still clean. Staff was pleasant, not overly welcoming. Fantastic dog friendly option. Would stay here again.

Bugs in the room, very dirty bathroom. Door handle broken. Paper thin walls people next to us loud all night like 3-4 am. Hair in the sink. Rooftop bar service poor very rude staff. Was asked to move after spending 40 dollars on a lemonade no booze and 1 drink. Said the spot was reserved no signs like the other tables. We over heard the bouncer laughing when we moved they let some friends take our spot. Carpet in room stained. No I did not complain at the property was only there for 3 nights. Wasn’t worth saying anything. There were people picketing out front and they block our way in last night and were very rude.

My initial experience was TERRIBLE. However, the manager, Frankie called my the next morning both apologizing for my experience, and extended the upgrade that I was due. She went above and beyond and also provided an additional meal and adult beverage. This lady truly deserves a raise. She really should be applauded for this!
