The room was clean and the location was central BUT be aware there is no staff. No front desk no personnel whatsoever. They call it “ invisible service”. There are numbers you can call if you need anything, but it lacks human hospitality.

I would rate the overall stay a 3.5. Check in was confusing - they were great communicators via text, but they check in email could have been clearer. How to actually get the keypad to turn on, how to make sure your room gets locked, once you open it via keypad you must use the deadbolt, or clear it out to lock it. Had I not had trouble using the keypad to get in and sent a text, I would have never know it didn't automatically shut. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, and amenities were lovely. The main reason for the average rating is that the tavern below our room blasted music and it was like a concert in our room. We let it go upon arrival because it was 6 and early. By 8:30 we texted and they person felt bad but said it was hard to control what is going on around them hotel, but really you built rooms on top of a tavern so noise should have been a factor when insulating the rooms. We ended up getting ear plugs at the local CVS and at 9:30 we got a text that they called and asked them to turn it down. The music was not loud anymore, but you could hear them cleaning up till about 9:45 or so. The person I was texting with was very nice and felt bad about the situation, but I personally would recommend staying there, or at least in a room on that side of the hotel. Had the noise not been such an issue, I would have given them at 5.

We stayed here for 2 nights. Room wasn’t cleaned the second day. We had only 2 bottles of water in our room for the entire stay inspite of me texting them and asking them! Zero response. Location is great but what one gets for what you pay is not great. Towels were not totally fluffy white and clean more like a gray tone (white towels).

The room was nice and clean. One of the skylights could not be closed so it was too bright in the morning. It was odd that all the legs of the chase on the right bed were loose and all the faucet handles in the sink and shower were also loose. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Best location for walking everywhere in town, clean, pet friendly(park right across street), easy check in, easy building and room access via code and good staff responsiveness. 2 things to know - walls are thin and you can hear everything (people speaking loudly on street, large trucks driving by and noise from guests walking down halls, opening doors etc). Also water in bathroom sink never got hot (or even lukewarm) Elevator was not working and under repair but was not an issue for our stay

There's no one around to help when there's a problem, we couldn't even check in because no one sent the info like room number and door code, the room was overpriced and noisy, barely got hot water in the shower, someone puked on the curtains and no one cleaned it up.

The location is great. The spot for our car was an added plus. Room was nicely clean but there was a boxed female product left in the closet from last guest when we arrived. The skylights were very nice but one was broken. However waking up to hear and see the rain hitting the sky light was nice. Rooms were spacious and overall I did like the Inn. The lounge with amenities and snacks was a very nice touch. Our room mini coffee/bar was nice. Loved having the little refrigerator, that definitely was a plus. The check in was a bit worrisome. Mostly my fault I admit. I did not answer the call from the INN to reconfirm. The next day I did call back but spoke to no one so left a text message to reconfirm. I also sent two messages through Expedia and the Winston site itself. I kept waiting to get the access code. I got no call back. So I'd suggest if a quest doesn't know to call back, have a representative leave a detailed message to prompt a call back (message was a bit vague only asking to reconfirm reservation ) Also responses to messages, texts or a second phone call would be helpful. That was the hugest issue I had. I also know I share blame in it for not being able to answer the phone call when they first called. Would I stay there again, yes possibly. I now know the rules of the invisible check in/no front desk-so I'm sure it would go much smoother. Having said all that we did get in our room slightly early which earns big points. Thank you for the stay. The Taylor Family

Great location! Easy to walk to everything! Check-in was not super efficient. Due to no one being onsite, having to call and then wait for an email to get in is not super convenient. The touch keypad to our door did not work properly. We had to touch it up to ten times (every time we came in the door) for it to light up in order to put in the code. Then when we left our room it would not lock right away, we had to mess with the keypad again several times for it to lock. Maintenance was sent to fix it and it did work better for a day, but then started having problems again. The day we were checking out the elevator was having problems; making beeping noises and taking double the time for the doors to open and close and then for it to descend/ascend. The touch light switch in the bathroom would not work properly either. We ended up just closing the bathroom door so the light did not come into our room. Seems like a little maintenance is needed. Otherwise, it was furnished very nicely and the bed was comfy!
