Excellent

Staff were super friendly. Hotel is really cute and clean, our room smelled a little funky but overall was clean. Housekeeping woke us up at 8am, but that was on us I guess for not putting the sign out. The infused water station was the perfect touch. Definitely would stay here again.

Great stay

Stay was great! Had to dock 1 star due to the checkin process. Although it was smooth the front desk worker was not very friendly during our initial checkin. What was odd was he was very friendly to the couple in front of us. Outside of that everything was great. Dan is a great bartender at CBR!

We were here for a four-night stay and couldn't be happier with our experience. The location is great, the front desk is helpful and friendly, the room is spacious and clean, and the housekeeping is professional.
