When we checked in, no one was at the desk. The person working was not welcoming or friendly. Barely communicated with us the basic check in information. We thought there was a restaurant in the hotel but found out the bar only served a pizza. Just not a very welcoming hotel. It was clean, modern & the room was comfortable. The front desk staff were a big let down!

We had a solid one night stay during a road trip. The hotel was clean, the staff was very friendly. The drinks at the bar were a bit pricey but otherwise, no complaints.

I’m pretty sure I left my black vest in my room where my friends room and I told them to call me. They’ve never called me and they weren’t able to look in the lost and found because they didn’t have a key when I was there.
