The room was very clean, the staff were very friendly and the location was great! My only complaint is that it is pet friendly so we heard a dog bark near our room early in the morning. I knew there may be pets at booking though so I would still return!

Terrible- absolutely terrible. When we arrived at the hotel the front desk agent told us it would be about 20 minutes for our room to be ready, 35 minutes later I went to check after I didn’t receive a call - she said it would be ready any minute - great- 15 minutes later she said, it would be ready any second. Another 45 minutes later and I walk up to the room and the attendant is starting on the room

Our view was the garbage area so a balcony would have been nicer. The location was wonderful. Walking distance to everything. Having the frig on a stand instead off the floor would have been nice. Rooms are very clean and very noisy. Cement floors through out means there isn't a buffer for the noise. Slamming doors are heard at all hours.

Location is incredible. Fun decor. Very comfortable bed. The only complaint is the door into the room did not seal well and felt very flimsy. All doors need better seals. Not good noise dampening in general.

Parking seemed safe. The shelf towels were on needed cleaning as it was dusty. The black out shade didn't cover the entire window. Too short so when the light came in we had to put coats to cover the window where shade was short. Staff was friendly and accommodating.
