Great customer service!

The location was fantastic and the service was excellent. I didn’t take warm clothes with me, so I was very cold on my first night there. The next morning I requested a blanket and almost immediately they brought me a wonderful down comforter. I slept so good every night after that.

1. The hotel should have a listing of TV stations in every room. 2. The room was just the right size for me. Very well laid out, too. 3. There are no safety bars in the shower. The shower points straight down; a slight angle would help.

This property looked adorable on Expedia but fell short. We checked in around midnight due to a late flight and checked in to find the heat pump not working. The front desk staff gave us fans, but there were no outlets to plug them in. We opened the window, but there were no screens. The next day they moved us to a new room. Maid service didn’t clean the room on our third day, which we didn’t expect. Decor was pretty good, but the room was incredibly small. Probably would not stay there again.
