Great staff, room was comfortable, was unsure how to keep the thermostat at a steady temperature, but nothing to complain about. Was given another blanket when asked. Wouldn’t mind recommending this hotel and/or returning. Oh, and loved the decor.

Great for a long weekend
We were very happy with our stay. We stayed 3 nights.The staff were friendly and attentive and made us laugh! The bed was comfy and clean. Loved the fridge access! My only feedback is the room smelled heavily of marijuana due the folks next to us smoking, which we know the hotel cannot control.
