Under renovation yet no disclosure but charged full rates. Imagine my surprise upon arrival. Waited at check-in for staff to finally show up from who knows where. Look elsewhere for accommodations. The brand should do better.

Great hotel option in a very walkable area with several restaurants close by. Driving distance to local stores. Very quiet neighborhood at night although the hotel itself is not so quiet. You can hear everyone in the hallways and adjoining rooms. Plenty of free covered parking.

It got off to a bumpy start. The agent at the front desk ran my credit card 5 times because something was wrong with the machine. Once he gave up on that and gave us our hotel keys it was a pleasant stay. Also there is salsa dancing in the lobby area on certain nights, so you are able to get in a good workout if you are game for it!

The location is lovely, right in the middle of a walkable shopping and dining area that is quaint and colonial. The hotel itself was a different story. It looks like it is still under construction, with drywall dust on the room floors and windowsills, unfinished caulking, etc. We had to switch rooms because the first one had only scalding hot water. In the second room, the toilet wouldn't flush. At that point, we weren't going to move rooms a third time, so my husband rolled up his sleeves and fixed the toilet himself. The room phones in each room were mutilated, with half the buttons ripped off and no labels to explain how to call the front desk or get an outside line. No instructions in the room whatsoever, including how to raise and lower the electric blinds. The bathrooms didn't even have hooks for hanging your hand towels or wash clothes. There was one hook outside the shower, but that was it. No hooks on the doors or in the room itself. It was all very bizarre. The front desk staff apologized for the issues and promised a manager would speak to us the next day, but that never happened. It is also difficult to get around the building. There is one elevator that gets you from the parking garage to the lobby, then you have to travel across the lobby and to a second elevator to get to the rooms. You also have to travel through multiple fire doors in the process that aren't particularly accessible for a person with a disability. I definitely wouldn't stay there again.

Never will I ever again

We booked 2 rooms through this site and when we arrived only 1 room (a handicap room ) was available. Once in the room, the phone was broken as well as the air conditioning! There was no one on site to help, therefore we were left with a broken fan (which we had to ask for).
