Instructions for accessing room upon arrival, etc. were simple. The entire experience ran smoothly. Would stay there again. ##### TRACY Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### John Aug 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities I didn’t like the vinyl hardwood flooring as it’s not comfortable compared to carpeting. There was no comfortable place to sit and the chair to table heights didn’t work together…..table too high for the chairs. The coffee cups didn’t fit the lids provided. The privacy curtain would blow open when the ac/heat fan was blowing and they were not room darkening type. The water pressure was insufficient to take a proper shower. When I was given a door code to open my door I wasn’t told to use it to lock it so when I left to do things I was unaware anyone could open my door…..another guest informed me on my last nights stay. On the upside management seemed to be very attentive and reached out to me several times to see if I needed anything. I will not return. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy Dec 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Quiet and convenient ##### Jeremy Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kelly Jul 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This was a cute place ##### Kelly Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna Jun 14, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The rooms are gorgeous!!!!
