Deadbolt didn’t work. Heater sounded like a jet engine. Bed very squishy and pillows too stiff. Parking ok. Checkin ok. Manager had little English.

I was here last week and left a glowing review. I feel like I wasn’t recognized even after I said I’d be a regular. I’ll give them one more chance to get that together. Otherwise good.

Very clean and nicely updated room. The hotel staff was friendly and the location is very walkable to restaurants and shops. I only had a few qualms. The bed was very squeaky. The room only had a semi-transparent shade- a blackout curtain/shade would have been more effective. Check-in required me to fill in a form by hand- although much of that info could have been transferred by Travelocity. Lastly, I checked in at night and it was very cold but I couldn't turn on the heater. In the morning, I discovered the A/C was unplugged.
