Good!
Good! The place was clean! There were a few noticeable repairs needed but nothing that prevented us from doing anything. Pool was HELLA cold. But it was December, so that could’ve been a product of cold coming through big glass windows.

6/10 Good

My son went to the swimming pool area and stepped on glass while walking to the pool. Some blood but not serious. Our fold out couch bed had large metal spring sticking out of the side! I considered it dangerous! We had an extra pillow and blanket brought up. When the lady delivered the pillow and blanket we showed her the metal spring sticking out of the fold out bed. She agreed it was a danger and she would tell her manager and have them call me. Quite disappointing no follow up from the manager! I will say the staff at the front desk when we checked in were extremely polite and professional! Due to NO follow up from the manager we will not stay at this hotel again. This is sad to see for the awesome staff at the front desk they have to have this underperforming management! we stayed in room 301 checked in on 10/24/2024 aproximatly 3pm pillows delivered and report of the dangerous fold out bed on 10/24/2024 aprox 9pm wish I would have taken pictures of the injury and fold out bed as I see now that I could have uploaded the pictures quite disappointing.........

Okay, but keep expectations in check
Meh. The entrance is odd. It had 2 gigantic dumpsters taking up more than half the entrance parking and it's located on narrow street. Room had a musty smell; not terrible but was there. The hotel ran out of hot water by 2 pm on a Sunday and didn't get restored until 8 pm. Courtyard was nice, but would be better if spider webs and trash was cleaned up better. The front desk representative named Dee was super nice and awesome.

Good location. The layout of the building was somewhat confusing. Our room window faced a blank outside wall. Seemed to be doing a lot of updating and construction. Hallway carpets and elevator floors were dirty and stained. Bed was very comfortable and room was well appointed with a kitchen and bar area and clean. Wall light on bed wall was broken and shelf in bathroom was about to fall off along with the tp holder. Reported to front desk. Very good selection of options for breakfast.

Hotel is in the middle of renovations, but our rooms where far away from all the construction and did not have any effect on our stay.

Unacceptable in terms of house keeping, none, after asking repeatedly. Remodeling dust everywhere while eating breakfast, doors not shutting properly. Pool looked like milk. I was not happy overall

Thank Arch!
Arch at reception was so helpful and patient. I was traveling with my 87 year old father and Arch helped me to make sure he was in a safe and comfortable room. He really saved me and my mental health! Much appreciated!

2/10 Poor

The TV did not work and could not be fuxed, so we were moved to a construction floor. The swimming pool and spa were unavailable. The beautiful pastries on the site were actually muffins in plastic bags. "Sleeps 4" included a nice king bed and a pullout sofa with and extra thin mattress pad that came with a package of sheets. So really only a room for two. There were homeless people in the area, and two big blue dumpsters at the front door. All of this, plus $20 a day to park.
