Room was great! Lobby was amazing! The live music and fireplace really encouraged us to stay at the hotel longer than we thought we would! Only problem was when I checked in, my card was charged for the room at $140, and then the card was charged $100 for incidentals. I had paid for the room through Hotels.com. I am hoping my money will be refunded expediently!

At check in there were 6 people waiting to check in, when one of the two registration staff simply left her post and didn't return, ugh. All other staff have been awesome. Room is clean, sink drain is clogged needs attention drains slowly. There is a hard desk chair, but no comfortable seating in room. When we stayed here recently there was an upholstered comfyy chair in our room to sit in.

Only one person at the desk to check in guests. Waited 15-20 minutes in line. Person was nice, however more staff is needed for a hotel with rooms at this price point. I will look to stay at another hotel comparably priced on future trips.

The overall cleanliness of the room was poor. There were brownish red stains on the carpet. There was a brownish red smudge on the blanket on the bed. There were streaks of lotion or something running down the wall near the bathroom. When I went out on the balcony and looked in their grass there was trash and a dirty diaper out there. I had to pay to park, which is obsurd. The check-in staff was fine. However, every other intetaction that I had with the staff was not pleasant. Everytime we asked for something they acted like they were doing us a favor. I will not be going back.
