Check-in was easy, and the desk clerk friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and the bed/pillows comfortable. I suggest that management add a towel ring or bar near the sink.

Property was being remodeled, so a bit of construction materials in the back. However, it did not interfere with parking, and our room had just recently been completed. It was very clean and bright and tastefully designed.

The office is situated very oddly and hard to find. The staff was OK, but certainly not friendly. The room was big and spacious for a hotel room of that caliber but overall it’s a little dated.

The guy at the front desk during the check in time was excellent. the room was big and quiet. But… it was not very clean, the doors are dripping with coffee, the light switch is disgustingly dirty and the AC cover is disgusting 😱. cleaning is not just about cleaning the vanity and towels, the fridge was full of water.

The staff is attentive and courteous. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. A desk is provided with a comfortable chair and multiple 120v and USB power outlets. Also, there is a Tiki bar onsite, and being from the West, it is convenient after my zoom meeting to go down and catch those late games.
