The room is very old, the stairwells that took 3 flights of stairs to get to the room smelled of urine, people were smoking weed, the receptionist told us the wrong room, and there were no towels in the room due to a shortage in staff. Trash everywhere, and ceilings had water damage.

What we love about this is the convenience of a restaurant, coffee shop and draft beers right at the vicinity. They offer all those aside from lodging plus the place is secluded in a nice area where there is quiet but close enough that you can walk to the main district.

Good place to stay if you want to walk to food and drink options. It’s also very close to drive to other areas some may want to visit. The staff was awesome and allowed us and early check. The bathroom did have build up in the shower. That was probably the only thing I didn’t like. It could have been a little cleaner.

Property is a bit outdated, in addition I always do a wipe down when I arrive for a hotel stay and after wiping down the bathroom the Clorox wipe was definitely brown and dirty. Also list that there are microwaves in the room when that's not true. In addition there is no elevator and was very difficult for my husband with a bad back to get to and from our room.

Hotel is an old remodeled motor hotel type. Great features like the hot tubs and fire pits plus the brewery with food and live music right on the same property. Water pressure was zero so we actually had to skip showers and the bed was so soft my husband and I both woke up so sore. So unfortunately for us we would not be able to stay here again.
