Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
We were allowed early check in, which was great because we were traveling with pets. The hotel details did not mention dogs could not be left unattended in the room, this caused us to change our dinner reservations and plans for visiting family. The room was decent, not the cleanest, but also not the worst I’ve seen. There was a strange smell when using the ac unit. I was looking forward to a hot bath after traveling all day but the shower diverter was welded or glued up leaving the only option to shower. Wallpaper in the bathroom is loose, appeared to be taped, and not very well. Lots of noise and conversations happening in the hallway all night. Didn’t feel like the safest location to park your car but no issues there.

We had a late check-in and had no problems with the process it was fast and easy, so we were able to go straight to bed. The breakfast bar in the morning was good; they offered yogurt, muffins, oatmeal, and hard-boiled eggs. The room was clean and worked well for our one day stay. Most of all, the staff were super friendly and welcoming.
