Everything was wonderful, location-room-Except’ parking. After going around so many times and still not getting close. We had our puppies and luggage. There were pipes sticking out of side walk that my husband didn’t see and fell in the middle of the crosswalk. We weren’t able to use the key pad to get in and out the door closest to our room. Need to fix.

I had a great stay! Jeff made my stay even better. He was pleasant, always had snacks, was super friendly. The day he was not there, it was noticeable. I will definitely come back to Zindel just because of Jeff.

We agreed we would stay here again. Jeff at the front desk was amazingly friendly we enjoyed chatting with him & we got recommendations from a born & raised local. The room was clean, not fans of the door-less glass shower panels. Glad we booked the King room with the private bathroom. (Just wished this room wasn't across from the shared bathroom)They give you optional ear plus but come the weekend we had noisy talking neighbors at 5am while sleeping, the walls are a bit thin.

Room wasn’t cleaned when mention they said I had to ask to get room cleaned asked for refills on body wash and shampoo didn’t get it until i asked again the body wash and shampoo seem sooo cheap had to use half to bottle to even get some suds request towels waited about 20 mins and nothing needed to ask again . Was told parking lot was going to be $21 for a full day that was a lie I paid $50! For 15 hours ! Don’t let them fool you with the parking ! Ended up paying $100 alone in parking . You could hear everyone’s doors opening and closing at all times of the day.

Great clean room . Down fall. 2 restrooms that you share with other rooms. Bad in my case if the keypad battery gives out only 1 restroom at that point

The room was right near the front door and near the stairs, so my partner and I were woken up every time someone came in or out of the building. The door to our room does not quite fill out the frame, which does not help the sound, and it let in a lot of light from the hallway. The walls are paper thin, and we could hear the couple in the room next to us fighting all night one night, which had us concerned for their safety and we didn't sleep well. The room does not have great ventilation, so we came back to a very humid room every day if we forgot to run the AC after our showers. Also, while the shower is quite aesthetically pleasing, the lack of a full door meant water splashed everywhere outside of the shower. The bed was quite comfortable, but the pillows were very stiff and the staff did not have softer pillows. Overall, the stay was fine, but there were a lot of small inconveniences that amounted to some stress.

Room was clean staff was nice, beds were cozy. However parking was a nightmare our car was side swiped sometime during the night while it was parked directly in front of the hotel. We had to move our car several times during the stay because we couldn’t find overnight parking. The room was located in the dark deep back end of an alley with zero natural light. All the windows were boarded up from the outside so w had no idea of the time of day or night. There wasn’t really anywhere to get fresh air or natural light to enjoy a drink. Overall stay was just ok. We wouldn’t stay there again.
