Good Solo Stay

Hotel was clean and walkable to many things. The pool was nice, I was able to enjoy it the morning of my check out since check out wasn’t until 2pm. I wish that when the bar/food is closed they had some small options in the grab and go like cold sandwiches or hard seltzers, there wasn’t any option besides basic vending machine items. Room was clean, blackout curtains wonderful. The only issue I had in the room is that my mini fridge didn’t get cold and I had brought back some food so I just ended up tossing it. Will be back for the location and the price!
