The cleanliness of the room was average. I did notice some things on the floors but didn’t affect the overall experience. The front desk staff, aside from one woman, were not helpful with most things as most of them didn’t know the answers to our questions and always referred to having to ask their manager who never seemed to be on site. We had 3 instances where service from front desk staff was very, very poor resulting in my having to email the manager about our experience. I am waiting on a response from her regarding these things.

Good Solo Stay

Hotel was clean and walkable to many things. The pool was nice, I was able to enjoy it the morning of my check out since check out wasn’t until 2pm. I wish that when the bar/food is closed they had some small options in the grab and go like cold sandwiches or hard seltzers, there wasn’t any option besides basic vending machine items. Room was clean, blackout curtains wonderful. The only issue I had in the room is that my mini fridge didn’t get cold and I had brought back some food so I just ended up tossing it. Will be back for the location and the price!
