Not a Hotel! This is a motel. Sink wouldn't drain and some black sludge came up. Free breakfast is totally misleading. Its one per room per day. Internet is intermittent. Be prepared to set up your own wifi hotspot. Noisy. Great location though! Nice staff!

More of a sketchy motel than hotel

We left after dinner and chose not to stay the night. It was not what I thought it would be. They literally gave complimentary ear plugs because of how loud the noise was outside of the room consistently. It was clean. But I didn’t feel safe. It might’ve been good for someone who was drinking downtown or one of the band members playing live music across the street but for someone looking to relax this was definitely not it. I didn’t even get a refund. I’m so disappointed I didn’t do better research.

The Hotel itself and staff were fine. I wasn't aware I had to ASK for room cleaning. I booked a 5-night stay. I called after the 3rd night and asked if I was going to get fresh towels, linens etc. I was told I had to request it. Really? On a stay that long. I had to asked for toilet paper and tissue from the front desk on two separate days. I caught a housekeeper in the parking lot and asked her if she was coming to clean my room today? That was finally on a Sunday, and I had been there since Thursday. She brought clean towels and a roll of toilet paper. The parking situation sucked as well. Needless to say, I will not be staying there again, nor will I recommend this Hotel. More like, Motel.
