It has character, the rooms have kitchenettes and separate living room and bedroom areas, and all is clean. They could upgrade breakfast a bit. Parking is free but limited; you may not park close to your room entrance. There are other hotels nearby but not restaurants.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I don’t even know where to start. Zero guest service from the agent at front desk. She sat behind the desk, was talking to someone in her phone while checking me in and was confusing me as I was not clear if she was talking to me. Eventually got checked in and made it to my room only to find bed was barley made and dirty floor. To really make this place a never again for me, was that we requested additional blankets and pillows they never came, we had to go to the front desk to ask again same young lady from the night before was again underserving all guest including a elderly woman in a wheelchair, who she refused to put on the first floor with claim of no availability of bottom floor, which was pure bs. the room next to us was vacant. Lady asked for help getting her stuff to room on 2nd floor, they told her that they can’t help. So my wife got a cart and loaded it up and helped this handicapped elderly lady. I am absolutely disgusted with choice and main stay for no quality control or culture of service. Being in hospitality for over 24 years, I am mortified at the lack of guest service. Do better! Definitely remove your guest check in agent from front of house, she had the personality of a rock.

Nice hotel

I stayed here one night to be close to the airport for an early flight. The shuttle was perfect, the room was very spacious and nice. Unfortunately I wasn't able to try the breakfast as it didn't open until 7am which was the time I was catching the shuttle.

Problems with plumbing and it took forever to get done one to fix it. They sent someone twice and both times didn’t fix the issue. We had to request a move to another room which was such an inconvenience.

PROS: It was a clean, large room with a nice layout Our son was staying with us and had to use the foldout couch bed and he had no complaints..The property is beautiful. Really nice interior views of plants, the firepit, a hangout quad of sorts, and healthy geraniums and other things lined the walks.Bathrooms by the dining area was clean and accessible only with a key card. The workout room was nice and stayed open until midnight. Weight station, elliptical, treadmill, and electronic bike. Also a water cooler with cups. Front desk staff went above and beyond helping me locate a bag I put down! First class! CONS: No USB or C ports on the lamps, but we had brought our own. The breakfast was okay, but it was served by a person because they need, we assume, to keep the people attending the traffic school class in one of the meeting room from coming in and getting some. You had to ask for cups, extra butter or syrup, etc, more than one ketchup. There was no fruit or anything portable like that (no eggs, yogurt). But the scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage and two medium-size pancakes were fine.No black tea, just green tea and camomile. It would have been nice if a microwave had been available because the eggs and sausage apparently had been pre-served onto a plate before I appeared and was lukewarm. Would have benefited from a nuking. Next time I will eat out and have no complaints!

Not a good place for travelers who spent one week here. Breakfast was same every day, room cleaning once a week. I recommend travelers read the fins point about the limitations of daily house keeping if they need the rooms to be cleaned on daily base
