Enjoyable stay but with a few comments

The hotel and room looked great. It was a cool vibe with nice decor. The only bad thing we encountered were lots of strange noises. We kept hearing creaks and bumps. They weren't people, but noises from the building itself. I don't know if it was plumbing pipes, HVAC or what. Also, the heat in the room took forever to keep up with the winter cold.

So-so stay.

Bitter cold weather outside. Furnace and temperature control not working in our room. My 88 year old mother very distressed by this. Vinal flooring didn't help situation. Carpet would've been better. Staff attempting to help was appreciated. Rooms should be checked for basic functionality more frequently, especially in bitter cold weather for customer comfort. In town for a family wedding. Breakfast picked over at 9:20am. Supposed to be available until 10am.

This was a great place near everything we needed. Staff was amazing. The beds were way too firm for me and the hot water never really got hot. Food was good, but coffee was never very strong. Everything was clean and bright and a fun place to hang out with family.
