We got there at 8pm and we needed help to carry our cases upstairs. Elizebeth was helpful and carried them for us. Next I ck the bed and the sheets have a large discolored area on them. Elizebeth brings new sheets and that’s when we found the mattress cover had blood on it. The cleaning staff needs to be monitored as this is just laziness and most disturbing. Elizabeth did the best she could with no other staff available. I was offered 20% back at the hotel. That was it nothing more. Hotel.com could take responsibility and adjust that small refund but no that didn’t happen.

Fairly clean. Was in town for a wedding and needed affordable accomodation. I had a fridge but no microwave which was sad. But the location was close to some nice stores and groceries.

All the features of this property that cause it to be poorly valued are "add-on" features like facial tissue, mircowave, shampoo, hair dryer, continental breakfast (all missing). But the essential things like flooring (wood, not carpeting), decorations, finish and cleanliness, parking, pool, bed comfort, furniture convenience, TV access, neighborhood shopping and restaurant quality -- those things were outstanding. Whole Foods is just 2-3 blocks away, as well as several fine dining and casual restaurants. Check out Rudy's and La Unica for casual Mexican, Tee Off for reasonable fine dining.

Yall need to be better I tracking vehicles parked there I got stuck in the parking lot loop twice due to people parking oversized vehicles. 1000% sure it would not meet fire code. If my suv couldn’t fit through it no way a fire truck would. I almost missed my flight.

24 hours of daylight

The room was clean and updated but the outside lights were ridiculously bright and right outside the window. At all hours of the night it felt as if the sun was up even with the curtains drawn. This might not have beens so noticeable on the first floor, but definitely don’t request the second floor. Other than that the stay was fine for a budget room.
