The entire stay was excellent, the only thing was we had no signal on the TV the nice girl at the office she even tried to set it up. No iron or iron board, no blow dryer ( not sure if these are included anymore) that was it. It was definitely clean and were assisted promptly when we had problems with the TV.

Excellent and new hotel. Only two things that could be a challenge but the price overcomes both. One is the lobby shuts down at 11pm which requires extra steps to check in. The other is no breakfast, however, has a stocked kitchen. Great for overnight travelers. Lack of swimming pool could also be a deterrent for families with kids. Very clean and perfect rooms.

Basic hotel and amenities. Thin blanket on bed, no curtains. Nice kitchenette area with full size fridge and microwave. Only 2 bath towels so had to ask for more. No iron, hairdryer, shower soap, shampoo or conditioner. Check-in kiosk not easy to use so had to go to desk. Used Expedia so not sure if that was the reason for check-in issues at kiosk. No breakfast but has coffee decanter in lobby. Will stay here again as the price is much cheaper than other hotels and location is easy access. I know what extra to bring so no big deal.

Was not allowed to check in and they still charged me the room fee for the night. I booked for my daughter and she was denied access to the room. She was told that we were going to get a full refund, but the claim was denied. I’m not sure if this was Expedia or LivAway. I was charged the room fee for the night even though, LivAway denied access to the room. I’m attaching all the receipts.
