Breakfast was great with lots of options. The host at breakfast goes out of her way to make sure you get everything you need. Love the staff. Parking is very easy and feels very safe. No one is just hanging out at the parking lot. During my stay there was construction right outside my window but they were very considerate and ended early and room was quiet and peaceful for a good night sleep. Looking forward to see the updating on the property Looking forward to my next stay which will be soon

Our room was the first one on the first floor (102 I think). We could hear people and music all night long in the lobby. BUT, aside from that it was a great stay. Super comfy beds and loved the shampoo and conditioner!

OK for one night / close to 408

The hotel was clean, front desk staff was friendly, and bed was comfortable. We did not have hot water in the shower, which I reported to the front desk. We were only staying one night and the hotel was fully booked/very busy, so we didn’t bother to have maintenance come fix it. We did make sure they knew about it and hopefully it gets fixed before the next guest. Room 208
