Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The floor we stayed didn’t have power. Some lights were without power and the plumbing was bad. Our toilet got clogged.
Bathroom shower had mold stains on the ceiling, the room had a huge furniture scratch and you can here the traffic from this room which was unfortunate because I needed rest for a business meeting the next day.
The room was clean but missing tissues and grab bars in the accessible shower.
Staff was outstanding from the front desk to the exceptional restaurant staff! Shout out to Violet and Byron who took great care of us!
A solid comfortable place. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Room could use some updates but that won't stop me from coming be back in a week as-is.
The hotel is very nice, comfortable, and well-located. The room was great and the reception was good. The only discomfort occurred with the restaurant receptionist, who was rude when we asked about the possibility of having dinner without a prior reservation. He shouldn't be working with the public if he treats guests this way.
