Had a very nice stay!

I really enjoyed this hotel! The staff were very friendly and the breakfast is good. My only suggestion is that they get carpet in the rooms - I could hear the people upstairs walking around all of the time loudly. I had an issue with my first room and the staff was very nice and helped me get a new room. The pool is also very refreshing when it’s hot! I highly recommend staying here.

Not a good value for the price of almost $400 per night. I expected more and was appalled to have to pay for parking in addition to $370 for the night. Would not return

Comfortable, clean, quiet, convenient to restaurants and shops. Friendly check-in; called in advance and requested early check-in - they said they’d do their best to accommodate- and they did - was able to get keys to room a couple hours before official check in time. They also have locked luggage storage room for guests.

Comfortable and reasonable place to stay!

It was an old building but maintained well. Run by wonderful staffs and it was really comfortable. No frills and no outrageous resort feeling. Just comfortable for sleeping!! Only thing that irritated me was parking lots. It was too small for SUVs most of customers had, taking over two spaces for one car space. I know there was over flow lots, but harder to access. Hope they can change that in the future.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I stayed here for a week and was less than impressed when it came to cleanliness. In the room it’s like the floor was never swept or mopped while I was there and even right when I arrived it was so dirty and you could see the dust under things as well. The little kuerig was never restocked with cups. The shower drain had a weird smell to it and the fan inside the bathroom barely worked. Pretty good soundproofing between walls but you can hear people above you when they walk around. I had a room that faced a parking lot/street so not the quietest at all times. There were some hiccups with the complimentary breakfast where one day the oven wasn’t working, the toasters sometimes worked or just burned whatever you put in it.

Parking should be free for hotel guest only (that's my biggest peeve) Our bathroom fan did not work, the Internet was fickle, going in and out all the time ( TV). I will say, the staff was great, especially during the morning breakfast rush. Kudos to them
