The front desk person didn’t know what she was doing. The room wasn’t clean. It’s across the street from a methadone clinic and there was numerous people laying on the property who appeared to be homeless.

Great stay, nice room, hotel had just undergone remover at least that’s how it look so everything was up to par. Parking was nice and secure in a garage that can only be opened with keys which helped safety. My only wish was that the bathroom was bigger but for everything else to be great I also can’t complain

Renovation issues

The hotel is very nice and undergoing renovations. Our room apparently had a water leak and we were told to not shower (10:30pm) and wait until further notice which didn’t happen until 11:30pm where we were asked to move rooms. While the service was good the inconvenience was bad.
