It’s newly built building. Everything seems new and clean. The area is really chilling and nice with some restaurants and bars options. Recommend it!

Was there a fire at this hotel recently? They just cancelled my reservation I made 4 months ago because I booked on a 3rd party website because a fire made them oversold and they kept those that booked directly... I guess the lesson is don't book on a 3rd party website or you will be the first to go?

Terrible Experience – Avoid This Listing! I booked this place by mistake and reached out within 2 minutes to cancel, but was told there are no refunds—even though the stay is still 10 days away! I also asked about early check-in and was given vague, unhelpful answers. Their phone number listed on Airbnb is fake, and there’s zero way to get in touch with them directly. This is clearly a scammy setup that shows no professionalism or customer care. It’s absolutely ridiculous that a place can take your money and refuse to even talk to you about it—especially when the cancellation was nearly immediate. Total lack of respect, no support, and the worst communication I’ve ever experienced on this platform. Stay far away!

This was my second time staying here. I needed a day of relaxation before my wedding and I loved the peace and quiet. The lady that checked me in was the best. I will be returning

The hotel called us the day before we arrived and said our reserved room had been trashed by a previous resident so we wouldn't get the room we had paid for. We asked them to adjust the price we paid but they weren't able to do that. Bedroom was also very small. Could not get end tables on both sides of the bed. Will travelocity adjust what we paid because we didn't get the room we reserved?
