The location was great and made it easy to navigate about the city. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful, and the perks of staying here were great. They offered a complimentary item from the coffee shop and hosted happy hour during my stay. My room was neat and well kept and a great place for me to land.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Accommodations were comfortable overall with a couple slight disappointments. Certain aspects of the room had not been maintained (the vinyl flooring was in desperate need of repair and cleaning). Other amenities in the room were clean and fresh (such as the bed). Temperature control for the room was great, no issues there. Extremely welcoming and friendly staff at the front desk when checking in. Assuming the lack of maintenance is due to the fact the hotel has been sold.

Our room keys didn’t work and we had to venture back downstairs. Slight inconvenience due to small mistake of writing down wrong room number. Very clean room and aesthetically unique. My husband loved the unique bed frame although the mattress was too soft and sunken. Friendly staff.
