We came for the art walk. The location wasn't far at all and very close to wonderful eateries. It was very clean the staff was very friendly. I loved everyone at the front desk and the dining room attendant worked with a smile. I'd definitely stay again.

I like the breakfast. The parking made me feel uncomfortable. The room door did not open and close without pushing it. Small bug on bathroom floor. I took pictures.
The comforter was stinky. It was replaced with a mattress cover
Mattress cover replaced a musty stinky comforter. This also had a smell

First Time Ever No Cold Water

A huge problem I found out the hard way, was there was NO COLD water and almost burned myself. Reported to front desk, but didn't have the opportunity to test if it was fixed.

Overall, it was an okay stay. However, I booked this particular property because of a previous stay at another location and we were able to access Netflix, etc. That was not the case at this location, even though the app was on the tv- I spent 45 minutes attempting to troubleshoot (because that’s what I was told to do by the individual at the front desk that night), only to be told by the morning staff that it was no longer available because the TV’s had been replaced and it would work on some, but it wasn’t guaranteed to work on all. I used $40 of my One Key cash towards this booking only to be disappointed with that issue as well as the issue with the A/C- if turned up over 68, it expels a fishy odor that filled the room.
