The main issues with our first room on the second floor was the bathroom glass barn door wasn’t installed correctly causing the door to stick, hard to move and jump out of the track. Also the charging outlets in the center bedside table didn’t work. We were transferred to another room which was much better in regards to these two items. To turn off the accent lights under the bench we had to unplug them.

The lighting was very dim without the ability to turn it up. I could barely see enough to put on makeup or do my hair which was an anomaly given how many hotels I’ve stayed in. The breakfast buffet is too expensive for what you get. Otherwise a nice property.

Nice hotel but make sure you know that you are getting DOUBLE beds, not queens like EVERY other hotel. I know I should have read all details but made an assumption. I’ve never seen double beds at hotels before. Also, the trash dumpsters outside the hotel get emptied at 5am on a Sunday and there is roughly 20 of them, I think. It sounds like someone is throwing rocks at your window for 30 minutes straight.
