Loved staying here. Staff was very friendly and helpful, they even delivered plates to my room. Bed was soft and clean. Room decor was nice. Bathroom was super spacious. Only complaint (which is minor and didn’t affect my rating) was that there’s no microwave on the premises and that you had to cast your tv apps from your phone instead of logging in via the tv.

No invoice

This hotel is in a good location & I had an ok stay (although it’s very noisy) until the end when the woman doing check outs was completely dismissive of people and wouldn’t provide an invoice printout. I’ve since emailed the hotel and no reply. An fyi that there are extra service charges at this hotel. Apparently you get a $25 credit back if you eat/drink at Kiln but is that true? You wouldn’t know because they won’t give you the invoice. I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.

Very disappointing. No comfortable chair in room. TV too high. One of two nightstands tiny. No place to put cosmetics in bathroom. One tiny drawer for clothes. Also lost sleep due to fire alarm malfunction that required all to evacuate. Would not stay there again.
