Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
1. Arrived at 11:45pm and doors to hotel automatically open and no one at front desk. Additionally no hotel key fob is needed to operate the elevator. 2. Third floor smelled like cigarette smoke the entire time of my stay although listed as non smoking floor. 3. Dirty plates by communal microwave/ice machine stayed there my entire stay. 4. Can’t you Apple Pay for water nor is bottle water offered for free in your room. Must consistently carry your card or charge to room. 5. Communal water looks like it’s just refilled but never actually cleaned. Visible film on inside of dispenser. 6. Fire alarm rang at 4am for 5minutes straight. Not one announcement. No one to call to apologize or say false alarm. There was also a dip in the floor in the room I stayed in. I only stayed for two days and decided to check out.

Kenya the bartender and server was amazing...best part of our stay. Otherwise, there were opportunities. First night, an alarm went off at 5 a.m....a "system reset"...scared us to death. We also stayed on 3rd floor and lots of noise late night and early morning from the room above us on 4th floor...not conducive to a good night's sleep at all.

The staff, especially front desk staff were especially helpful and welcoming, which was greatly appreciated as we had just come in after many hours of driving on college tours. Positive prior reviews on staff was what attracted me to book our reservation. The reviews were accurate. The room was comfortable, easy access from the highway, and they have Starbucks coffee, which was a plus. Recommend.
