Great location for my stay! Room was all I need, nice renovated interior, satisfied with the room and bathroom. Cleaning service kept the room and towels fresh. After hours service was great, saving me when I got locked out at 2am. Check-in was contactless and easy using a key system. Note that this place has the typical motel configuration so your door is straight to the parking, which let some flys in at times.

Disliked: Amenities
It was clean enough, and served its purpose for what I paid for. But the "office" that contains amenity is open only from 8am and I needed to leave before that, and I didn't realize there's no coffee maker or anything in the actual room. A portable fridge barely worked, and there was no freezer part to freeze my freeze packs. It was 90+ degrees and I needed to prepare for a work day outside. It was clean though, and AC worked. But I would call this a motel not a hotel...

In general this hotel was just what we were looking for. But on the evening of our arrival we had a hard time finding a place to park. Another criticism is that, although the bathroom was fine and the shower was wonderful, there were no towel racks in the bathroom. Most concerning of all, however, was the very slippery surface in the shower. Absolutely dangerous. Still, decent value for the money.

Check in is via phone app. No front desk. Was remodeled but not new enough. Still looks & smells old. Has desk phone but no dial tone. Could not call for a later check out time. Not worth what I paid for it, compared to other hotels in the area. Not saying which the others are for fear they will sell out when I need to stay there.

Definitely NOT a boutique hotel.

Not a "boutique" hotel as they advertise. I would consider it a nice motel. We called in the AM to confirm the room and was told we had room V and would get an email with instructions. The link we received did not work. Our room was changed to C but we did not get the text with check in instructions until 10PM and there was nobody in the office at 9pm when we got there. Flooring was LVT but felt gritty. Carpet at the entry door would have been nice. No full length mirror. Wardrobe rack was located in bathroom with no closet. No coffee maker or microwave in room. Lighting is super bright and harsh. To turn on the bedside light you have to get out of bed and walk to the back wall. No switch that can be reached from the bed. Both lights go on at once and are very bright. Sink was clogged and would fill up. Only basic TV channels were available thru AppleTV. You had to have an your own account to watch on apps. The bathroom door is a barn door that did not cover the entire doorway and did not seal or lock so from the bed you could hear ALL the bathroom noises. The toilet flushing would wake me up. N Cars parked only a few feet from the room so in the morning when a truck was left running the fumes came in the widow. The A/C heating unit is only a few feet from the bed and VERY LOUD. If you need quit when you sleep bring ear plugs. The second level is only accessible from staircases in the back. Not convient if you have lugga
Clogged sink
Bathroom door offered no privacy or noise barrier
Lack of attention to detail
bedside lights were super bright and you had to get out of bed to turn them on
