I arrived very late. The front desk waited for my arrival and was not upset of my 1:30am arrival time. He personally called me later to check if a lost item was returned. Above and beyond the normal service of a front desk.

Not great
The room inside was fine but everything else about this hotel needs work. Get a better sign fix the broken glass and the broken ice machines. The area is a bit scary for a single woman to be staying at night by herself. I will not be going back here unless they fix up multiple things
