Super noisy until late at night. Tried to eat in the restaurant but staff never noticed us standing there to take our to-go order. Next time we tried we ordered and paid and they never made our food so we ended up having to leave to drive home and the cook still hadn’t shown up. Awful!!

The lobby is so cute and comfortable, the staff is lovely, the room is cozy and very clean. The bathroom is small but clean, the shower head height was a bit of a challenge since I am tall 😂. The only things I would say would be nice to add to the room would be a tv that was able to stream for movies, and full size water bottles. Maybe a better coffee station. Overall we were very happy with our stay! Will definitely be booking again in the future.

I was charged a daily destination fee at checkout, despite having fully prepaid for my stay through Expedia. This fee was never disclosed in advance and came as a surprise. When I asked about any additional charges during check-in—the staff did not mention it at all. Because of this lack of transparency, I feel the transaction was neither fair nor provided proper value
