Such a great property! Staff was helpful and attentive. Rooms smelled good upon entering and we could tell they cleaned it well. There is no elevator, however. The stairs with the luggage was rough, but the staff offered to help.

The parking is not user friendly. The entrance area to the room needs remodeling. They continue to clean an unclean looking area. The room is holding up with the last remodeling. The shower curtain had mold on it.

Elevator out of service. Had to come back to front desk as they initially put me in a 1bed, when I paid for a 2bed. Other than that, awesome as always.

We were there for my father's funeral and they were very understanding by letting us check in earlier than check in time and also let us check out later than usual check out time. They were very understanding and therefore we truly appreciate it. Thumbs up
