The girl at the front desk, Danielle, was very sweet and accommodating. She gave us great restaurant recommendations and went above and beyond for our few requests. Hotel seemed a little bit like lipstick on a pig. A great place to stay, but I think there are a few things that the owner could do to make it more of a welcoming environment. Will definitely return simply based off of the customer service!

This was a great place to stay—my only issue was with the door lock not working properly—but they are upgrading those soon—excellent place otherwise!

It looked like someone was laying on our bed before we entered and the door was ope. (Not properly locked). There were a lot of people outside of our room making noise too. Other than that it was comfortable and clean enough.

Maybe I am old school. I have a bachelor degree in hospitality business and I have worked 5 years in this industry.. I have never had such a bad experience to check in . First of all I waited about 10 minutes near a lobby, no one answered the door. It says that they opened until 10 pm then you need to call this … number . I have called no response twice… thanks I saw a staff and this guy checked me in even he was not on the clock. I want to say Thank you very much! . then no one explained directions to my room… so I kind of felt lost. After a long day work I would like to see a friendly face , who would check me in and explain me everything. I think they should have front desk at 7 pm . I did know you have to check in via text ! The room is super clean , but then the shower makes awful noises and I couldn’t watch news , because smart tv was spinning…it looked like the internet signal, not good enough for TV . I will definitely would not stay at the Hotel, there is no front desk service.

Good hotel with no people manning the office. The location of the hotel is very good. The hotel is clean and roomy. The hotel seems to be operated on minimum manpower. We never saw a person in the front desk, both check in and check out. We wanted to get some information, but with no person attending, we had to give up.
