The staff were friendly and answered all questions promptly. The location was great, walked to the Classic Center, 5 minutes.The hotel however has got some age to it. I can hear every footsteps from upstrairs as well as toilet flushing. My room's toilet often would make a sound on its own too. The heater in the room was pretty loud. It's an average, over priced for a "Hotel".

Eh

The honest truth is I was disappointed. But I had weirdly high expectations, I think. This property is essentially a really old motel that’s been redecorated. The re-decor is cute, but even that needs an update as everything is worn and sometimes in need of repair. If I were to do just one thing in the rooms, though, it would be to update to walk-in showers. If there isn’t budget for that I’d at least add a small fridge and a small microwave to the rooms. If I were to do one thing in the property, it would be to maintain the cafe area clean! Nothing worse than going to make yourself something to eat in a gross dirty space with gross dirty appliances. That said- the staff is very nice and the rooms are very spacious and comfortable, and the shower curtains (I loathe shower curtains) are at least hung on curved rods so they don’t chase you while you shower. So I’ve left it at a four, as while it won’t be my first choice in the future (I’ve already booked elsewhere for next year), it also wouldn’t be the end of the world if I had to stay here again.

Excellent stay! Cute rooms and decor. The coffee shop was a bonus. The only drawback was paying for parking right outside my room. I understand if it was a parking structure, but the parking lot was older and could use some upkeep. For the price of the room, I did not anticipate an additional charge.

The property had some unique wall paper and art that was kind of creepy. However, the service, food, and my stay was nice.

Lipstick on a pig!

It’s a glorified old motel that was remodeled with nicer furnishings. Definitely just put lipstick on a pig! The ac unit was so loud and obnoxious turning off and on, the rooms are noisy (you can hear every step you take), and the beds are not comfortable. It was fine for one night but glad it wasn’t a longer stay.
