I would give this property 5-Stars, but I had selected to pay at property on a different app, but they tried to charge me 3 days early, which locked my credit card as they assumed it was fraud then they cancelled my room and I had to rebook. I had tried call them and the 3rd party I originally booked with and neither was helpful and then the hotel ignored my calls. I gave up and rebooked. I didn’t make a big fuss because the staff was very nice when I was there. The free breakfast and late night cookies were pretty great and parking is convenient.
