Clean Room
Room was clean and recently updated/modernized. Seems the property is continuing to receive improvements. Room was a bit musty and had to run the A/C to improve that. No real issues. They actually provided maid service after first night without asking. Most places do not do that these days.

Property was being remodeled, so a bit of construction materials in the back. However, it did not interfere with parking, and our room had just recently been completed. It was very clean and bright and tastefully designed.

The office is situated very oddly and hard to find. The staff was OK, but certainly not friendly. The room was big and spacious for a hotel room of that caliber but overall it’s a little dated.

The guy at the front desk during the check in time was excellent. the room was big and quiet. But… it was not very clean, the doors are dripping with coffee, the light switch is disgustingly dirty and the AC cover is disgusting 😱. cleaning is not just about cleaning the vanity and towels, the fridge was full of water.
