The staff is really nice and welcoming. The location is pet friendly and beautiful. Very fair pricing and I look forward to staying there when I am on a business trip. They are also so helpful when I have needed assistance rescheduling due to my own mistake. Great experience and I would also recommend staying with them.

Dry clean and modern. However, the mattress was horribly worn with a huge intent that I filled with towels to sleep. I spoke with management in the morning and they said it would be changed out.

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a satisfactory experience. The room was generally clean, providing a comfortable space for relaxation. However, I did encounter a noticeable issue with the mattress, which had a significant stain. This was a bit concerning but other than that, the cleanliness of the room was commendable. Hopefully, this issue will be addressed promptly to enhance the guest experience. I would consider staying here again if this concern is rectified.

Not worth the money

The staff was very nice and friendly however, we paid $500 to stay here for one night. We had a charity event up the street. I feel like this hotel took advantage of the event being in the area, which is kind of sad since it was a cancer charity event. Next weekend, the same room is only 265 . After paying $500 when we opened up our windows of our room, they overlooked the roof with two air-conditioning vents right outside them not worth the money. They did end up moving us, but would not be returning here.
