Barking dog in hotel
Dog barking woke us up early morning and continued to bark floor above us or down hall? Went on for hours. Would have given 5 stars as everything else excellent. Why do you have to allow dogs? Ours stays home on trips as so rude to wake up and diatribe others .

Friendly front desk, dirty room
The front desk gal was so friendly and sweet! Our room and our friends room left much to be desired. The chair in my room had hair and crumbs all over it. The fridge in our friends room was full of leftovers from the previous guests. When simple things are overlooked in the cleaning process, it makes you wonder what else they overlooked. Would not stay here again.

Hotel is still new and very well kept! The staff was incredibly kind. They had a live musician playing guitar when we walked in. Lovely place!

Horrible location
The location is very bad, right across from a neighborhood that looks unsafe. I would not stay at this location alone as a female or with my kids but I was with a large male and didn’t have to go out much - so it was okay. Pick a hotel further north.

Aug 7, 2024
Very disappointed. I stayed 2 nights. Did not have hot water. After leaving shower to run 10 min it was at best barely not cold. The hallway to my room was very dirty even had dead (thank goodness) bugs on carpet along with dirt and trash. The next morning I told the lady at the desk about not having hot water and that the carpets on the second floor had not been vacuumed and were very dirty. She called there maintenance man who after finding out I was in room 227 at the end of one hall said that it was just because I was so far away. I told her I waited 10 min. (Hard to say you care about conservation if you accept wasting water). She said the maintenance could not come back until the next day. When I got back that night and the next morning I still only had cool water and the same bugs were in the hallway. I will not be going back if the management doesn’t even care about general cleanliness
