This hotel has a very hidden entrance very limited parking and during my stay, one of the elevators was not working properly yet all they did was post a note and that was just an inconvenience because every time we wanted to get on the elevator the one that didn't work would be available! It was annoying! Lastly the people that were on the floor above us were so loud! So much banging on the floor and even if we complained it still happened for two nights after.

Terrible

We were not warned at check in that the water would be shut off for hours that night. A repair crew was right outside my window working late into the evening yet they still booked that room. I was given a double twin bed room instead of a king like I booked online and the shower door had mold all over it

While we had an issue at check-in with our room clean but the bed not made, they took care of it quickly. Turns out, they got a load of new mattresses that day, and that was the issue. Otherwise, the staff and room were very good. The breakfast was average to below average, but not surprising. We would stay there again.

Good overall stay. One of the days the room was not cleaned though so why I’m giving it a 4/5. Also didn’t always get clean towels and sheets. Hotel room a little musty but overall good price for the stay.
