Liked: Property conditions & facilities
I’ve stayed here multiple times but rented from owners. I rented from the hotel this time, and was disappointed in the dusty conditions and built up filth of the window sills and the outlet boxes. There were items missing from the suite that should have been there: only one glass, but two wine glasses, no dish drainer provided, no paper towels, nobody told me about any amenities, like ice or coffee. The phone kept blinking the message light and couldn’t be deleted. That should have been cleared for me. The location made my business walkable and I love that location. For the price, I will be looking elsewhere in the neighborhood.
