Hotel was clean, overall staff was friendly and attentive. On the other hand something’s in the room were not up to par. Nowhere to hang towels and toilet paper. Very bright light in front of window made it difficult to sleep because the curtain could not be properly closed, very uncomfortable chairs, though the bed was comfortable.

Easy check in. Property under renovation so a little out of wack. However, no real issues of property or staff. 1 improvement recommendation, need small shelf in shower to hold soap, etc

The property is undergoing renovations and things were missing in our room, such as a bedside table lamp. Other accessories in our room were dusty, even the towels. The hall floors were dirty and unkempt. The online pictures are deceiving as the rooms display the "finished" product, but that is not what they look like right now. Management will not refund or do anything.

The first room we were put in had an old smell and it had an adjoining door (which I do not like unless I request it) and the Tv only had 1 channel, I voiced my concerns and they moved us to a much nicer room, very friendly and helpful staff, I would go back

Zero common sense and absurd "policy".

I reserved 3 rooms. I assigned different names for each room. One of the guests could not make it until much later. They would not release the room without him being present and showing ID. Absurd! Manager wouldn't budge. There were 2 guests in that room, so the guest present didn't have his room! I have never had such ridiculous, non-sensical experience. I couldn't get the room I reserved and I paid for!!! Also, dirty (under renovation and it shows), broken headboard, power plugs not working, and one of the worse breakfasts I have had (how much can one dilute juices and still label them juices? Really?)
