Well for first off our room was ready at check in time. Our “New clean sheets” were dirty there was a stain. The mini fridge did not work as well so I had nowhere to store my insulin. There had to be a plumbing issue because there was a foul smell coming from the toilet without the fan, ac or having any type of air circulation going in the smell would linger into the room. We told the employees but there was nothing the staff could do for us, no change of room not even a refund if we wanted to leave. We only tolerated it one night and spent the rest of our trip elsewhere. I hope the company can fix the issue we experienced because it was not right what we had to deal with.

Arrived very late from emergency flight from out of state. Parking lot spaces small and when I told front desk no parking spots he said, "you will have to park on the street". Did manage to find one tight spot with car on one side with a sticker "new driver please be patient". No way we were going to park in a spot like that. Canceled reservation and headed directly to hospital with no idea of where we would be staying. Idea was to find hotel then drop passenger to stay at hospital with patient and driver would return to hotel. Driver ended up at Strata Hotel near hospital. Very nice place.

I really enjoyed our stay here, it was clean, all of the staff were extremely nice, and I liked the breakfast selection. Our room was clean, the beds were comfy, and the bathroom and bathtub was clean. I liked that they used Dove products since this is the brand that we use already. All of the staff were so helpful and very friendly to my twin 5 year olds, they would ask questions and every staff greeted them with a smile and answered all of their questions. I would definitely stay here again.

Small hotel with easy parking. I loved that they served both eggs and egg whites in their buffet breakfast. I wished the heavy curtains in the room closed all the way to leave out the light. They seemed to be just for decoration which doesn’t make sense.
