The outlet behind my bed had no electrical cover on, so I could see exposed wire right behind my head. I ended up moving the mattress so my pillow wouldn’t fall down and touch the exposed wire while I was sleeping. Also a gap in the doorknob hole large enough that I could see outside. I had to move the chair against the door to feel safe in the room.

We only stayed one night, but it was exactly what we needed. Very quiet, clean room, easy check in and check out. We will be certain to book here again when we need to.

While it was a bit awkward to find a place to charge my devices, the view was nice, and the chairs outside were comfortable. The room was spacious for the price.

I booked the hotel with the intention of arriving just before check in closes at 10PM (according to Expedia). But, the hotel emailed to say check in closes at 9PM. We couldn’t get there by 9PM. That said, after a few emails and phone calls, the hotel did agree to wait until 10PM for me. That said, there was a gentleman who was waiting for me when I arrived and he was super friendly and said that he would have waited a bit longer for us if needed. He was very sweet. It did cause us a lot of stress though to try and get there as close to 9PM as possible. The biggest issue we had was the bugs in the room. We must’ve seen around 100 bugs. It was a very unsettling night. It would have been a one star review, but I have to give an extra star for the gentlemen who welcomed us!
