Good except for sound

I enjoyed my stay both the staff at the front desk and the staff in the food area were very nice and courteous. Only concern I have is that you can hear all of the elements outside when you stay in the downtown location as well as the rooms on your floor, I heard a pet dog barking And like breeze blowing like air blowing through my door or wind.

The property has only been open for about 6 weeks, so it is squeaky clean. The woman at check in was very cheerful and told us how long she would be on duty if we needed anything the breakfast was impressive. Waffles, pancakes, eggs (real not powdered!), bacon and even a carnitas bar!

Clean, quiet and new. Water pressure excellent. $12. /night to park stinks! The lot was not even full at night and it was self parking, no frills. This price range should NOT have a fee for a basic parking lot. Tried sitting in “new” lounge area but told I couldn’t because they were taking photos for their new web page. Hey, I’m paying for this! That’s like being barred from using the pool in 90 degree weather at a resort. Should have comped the parking at least! Would not honor government rate saying I had to book online for that. Not so at other equitable hotels. Breakfast was delish.

The hotel is new and we would have had an excelent stay but the wi-if didn’t work in one of the days and it was a problem. My daughter had to do homework due that night and was not able to do, I had to work and I was not able to so it was a very bad inconvenient. Also, there was a huge noise coming from Outside the room, the wind or some machinery, but we think a wind or flow of air was very loud and disturbing. If it wasn’t for that would be 5⭐️ Lastly, Parking,there is no space for Parking, guests have to double park or Park on the street after paying for parking. There are 2 hotels and is very hard to park.
