The front desk staff were kind. My only complaint with the staff is upon arrival the front desk associate double charged me. I asked her before I put my card in why it was showing a $153 charge and she said that it was showing my total after I pay the incidental fee but I’d only be charged $25; which was incorrect she double charged me. She rectified her error so it was made right. The room was disappointing. There were hairs all over the bed, a bug on the decorative blanket, hair in the tub, and on the shower wall. I’m pretty sure the hair was from the cleaning lady because it looked like she cleaned but her hairs fell out after; not too sure but still disgusting nonetheless. Lucky for me I bring cleaning supplies with me for these instances. Also, the ac unit was extremely loud and leaked out pools of water onto the carpet. Other than that the hotel was ok plus free parking. I personally wouldn’t stay here again but hey if you’re looking for something quick and cheap I’d recommend you stay here but proceed with caution.

Great Stay
Great little hotel that is a fun and convenient location. It is obviously an old motel that has been completely renovated and has more special touches in the room than most 4 or 5 star resorts. Great bar up front. Fun clean hotel.

Perfect for the occasion
Super cute hotel. I only gave 4 stars for comfort because our air didn’t work but it was cold enough outside it stayed semi comfortable. They do have 24/7 front desk service so we could have contacted them but we didn’t realize until the middle of the night. The outdoor courtyard is somewhere I could hang out for a few hours! Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Would certainly stay here again.

So VERY happy to be able to submit an EXCELLENT review for a hotel!!!! Only stayed one night but really impressed with staff customer service, excellent pre and during stay communications, info regarding the Area, restaurants, etc. walkable from hotel. Room was spotlessly clean with amenities including tv (with HBO), refrigerator, some snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, spring water, shampoos/conditioner, body wash, soap, etc. The bed, pillows, covers were high quality and extremely comfortable. Fairly quiet Air Conditioning and dual blinds which included total blackout. Well lit and FREE (yes Free) parking. Quaint little lounge with bar and some table seating. The staff truly understand and provide excellent customer service!! The whole facility was great and I highly recommend.

Wonderful staff
This is an old hotel that has been well renovated. The room was very clean and comfortable. We were there for a wedding and most of the venues we needed were within walking distance. Lots of good restaurants nearby. One of our party had a health emergency and the hotel staff bent over backwards to help and adjust the accommodation until they were able to make travel plans. The only thing that could have been better was some sort of breakfast included.
