I had a very nice stay with my little granddaughter. She loved everything about the room! The hotel was great walking access to lots of great night life and places to eat, as well as the Saturday downtown farmer's market.

Connie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Would have been great but it wasn’t

Did not inform guests that there would be no hot water. Chose this hotel for comfort and didn’t get it. Will say the front desk folks are kind and friendly.

Awsome place to stay, quick walk in the sky walks to get to events and places to eat and shop. Parking ramp for the hotel making for an easy parking every time. Inside of hotel was great and awsome breakfast service.
Jeffrey, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Just ok

Lots of issues, however they resolved most in a timely manner.
Barbara, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Not bad

Hotel was clean, and the staff was very friendly. Our room was also clean, but the ceiling AC unit kept dripping water onto the floor in the kitchen. It was very annoying hearing water smack the floor every few seconds. Other than that, our stay was great.

Great staff and friendly.
Vincent, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our stay was good. The rooms are clean and spacious. The only problem was the shower. Couldn’t shower first day because of no hot water. It was ice cold. The next day the shower started out hot then turned ice cold. Not fun experience trying to get shampoo and conditioner out with ice cold water then water turned scalding hot. Showers/ water requires attention.
Sandra, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property plus rooms have a strange arrangement--not bad just peculiar. Really interesting to find the elevator to the parking garage. Parking at $20.00 per night seems pretty high. Hard to find the front entrance.
Dennis, 2-night trip

Fernando, 3-night trip

Great stay!

Great stay! The room was wonderful, very clean. I was very impressed by the full kitchen and the room layout. At first, I could not figure out how to turn on the lights so I had to take a shower in the dark. Also, I had housekeeping knocking on my door at 9-9:30am on checkout day which I didn't really appreciate. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!
