Clean, beautiful, and well designed hotel. Always a smile from your staff. They are very friendly and welcoming. Walls of the building are very thin. We could hear EVERYTHING going on around us.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Nice newer hotel. Room was clean, staff was very nice and helpful.
The room was spacious, quiet and clean. Not sure why they charge $75 for a pet to sleep there….? Also, wish they would actively prohibit the smoking (of everything) right next to entrances/exits.
Overall, very nice place.
Every single thing about the place is absolutely top notch. You will not be disappointed

Staff was super nice and helpful room was amazing just as pictured. Super nice place. Would absolutely stay again. Booked last minute when your house caught fire and we had to leave quickly.
The property is clean and the gym is new.
The bed was comfortable and the room seemingly has everything you need . The issues ..heating and cooling is a mess . There is one vent in the bathroom that heats or cools the room .. I went over thanksgiving and the room was so hot I needed a fan ( which the front desk gave me) . I stayed 3 nights and the last night I just turned the thermostat off . One of the elevators was broken. And even someone who worked there said it's been a problem. Kind of a shame for a new property . I won't be staying here again
The air did not work and I was unable to sleep. it was so warm and stuffy and it was considerably cooler outside. I always look forward to staying in a hotel for the cold rooms. At 3am the night shift brought me a fan and I clarified with her that I properly turned down the thermostat and that the unit was indeed on. I couldn’t switch rooms because it was so late that I couldn’t move a sleeping toddler that I had to strip naked to sleep and hour prior. If you like a cold and unstuffy room, don’t book here.
My room was next to the stairwell and all night long the door would slam shut every time someone went out that way. It was incredibly disappointing. I only slept 2 hours as a result.
