Property was in great location, quick check in and friendly staff. Overall it was a good experience. My bed was a little uncomfortable & noisy bedding - crunchy - but clean. Bathroom light was very dim, but no huge complaints. Pleasant stay. Nice & quiet.

The front desk staff was amazing. The first room we had was unacceptable with a hole under the door and mold in the bathroom. The staff member moved us immediately to another room and was very kind. Great new restaurant across the street, Mr. Mike’s that just opened.

Unfortunately the room was not cleaned prior to our arrival and we had to alert the front desk. We were kindly given an upgrade to a larger room. The larger room was cleaned but I noticed there were things like the floor had crumbs and the ceiling lights had no covers. Beyond the cleanliness issues the staff were exceptionally helpful

Booked a dog-friendly room at this property through Expedia and learned when we arrived that there would be an additional fee (beyond the higher rate we were paying for a dog friendly room). This wasn’t clear in the booking process (or we definitely would have chosen somewhere else to spend nearly $200 for a very tired and small room. The lobby has been renovated. Our room had been partially renovated — not good enough for this price point. They advertised a “great breakfast” which was just so so. We won’t be back.
