Covered parking was very nice. Our room was very spacious. Checkin was great, but the property messed up our reservation and only had us staying one night instead of 2. The afternoon clerk on October 23 who brought this to our attention was not helpful and sonewhat rude about helping to get this straightened out. The error was caused by the hotel, not by Expedia.

We arrived after a red-eye flight and asked for an early check-in, but the staff member declined our request right away without checking the computer. She simply repeated the regular check-in time. We chose this hotel because they had kindly accommodated an early check-in on our previous stay. We understand that early check-in depends on availability, but even if it wasn’t possible this time, it would have been more professional to verify it on the computer first. Aside from that, she was a pleasant person, and the hotel itself was clean, conveniently located, and the room was spacious and comfortable.

The property itself and the staff are wonderful. Very polite and accommodating. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. The shower could use some updated caulking as it did appear dingy and dirty, maybe a bit moldy. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were not great (flattened out completely when I lay my head on them) but I believe that be subjective, and the water pressure was not great…again, subjective. Overall, comfortable stay.

Clean, comfy, great breakfast

The room was nicely updated and very clean. Beds were comfortable (pillows were quite puffy, but I prefer pretty flat ones. not a huge deal though. Breakfast was very good and I enjoyed experiencing their auto-pancake making machine. My only real complaint is the parking garage was too low for our jeep, but there was ample street parking.

The property is a bit dumpy. There was a water leak in the lobby when we arrived with fans blowing everywhere. The bathtub had pink mold around the grout. For the price, I was hoping it would be a bit cleaner. Location was convenient, but parking was $20.

My only complaint is the black and pink mold that was in the caulk around the bathtub. That was the first thing I noticed when I walked in and it just left me unimpressed because that is something that is so easily fixed.
