The property had some unique wall paper and art that was kind of creepy. However, the service, food, and my stay was nice.

Lipstick on a pig!

It’s a glorified old motel that was remodeled with nicer furnishings. Definitely just put lipstick on a pig! The ac unit was so loud and obnoxious turning off and on, the rooms are noisy (you can hear every step you take), and the beds are not comfortable. It was fine for one night but glad it wasn’t a longer stay.

Cute decor, but duvets stained, cleaning needs to be better. Some bugs but maybe due to outdoor entrance. Said breakfast but when I went in Tuesday AM there was “only coffee today”

Thin walls, no streaming on TV, loud HVAC wall unit. Common areas are nice, parking was easy, and it was nice to have direct access to outside for our dog. They provide dog cleanup bags.

Front desk service terrible

Hotel was well appointed, and the rooms were clean. Lobby was decorated nicely. At check in I told the clerk I wanted to split the cost of the room with the friend I was staying with where upon she mentioned we should do that at checkout. Next day at checkout I had to search for someone to come to the front desk. I was then greeted by Nannette who clearly did not want to be working. I said good morning and asked her how her morning was going, and the snarky reply was " I am here so how could it be good?" failing to say good morning or ask how our stay was. We indicated that we wanted to split the bill, and she said she already checked us out, so it was impossible to make the change. This was at 8:30am. For $350+ a night I'd expect better customer service.

Extremely thin walls, if on bottom floor the people upstairs sound like elephants. Maybe if its 100 p/n or less its worthwhile otherwise its a rip off.

I liked the way the room was decorated. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice. Good shower. Everything was clean. The single heat and air unit was a little loud. I was a little surprised that parking wasn't included ($12 a day) but perhaps I should have known.

Excellent spot the only improvement I would like to see is Free Parking, $12 seems a little bit steep for this location.$0 would be better.
