Disliked: Cleanliness
Was okay for a college town hotel, I guess. Maintenance was not great. Many lights not working and blinds not working correctly. I like the wood like floors and elevated bed but the floor under the bed was very dirty and dusty. Disappointed by the brand for not hiring and keeping a better number of staff to keep a cleaner hotel. The vibe was great and I like the games and pool table in lobby. The shower was not working as well correctly.

The water pressure in the shower was non-existent. The room must have previously had a pet stay (it was an accessible room) because my allergies were totally set off.

Too noisy. Walls are too thin. The sliding door into bathroom is a bad design. If you pull on it it will crash into the sink since it swings freely
