I’m rooting for this hotel, but there are some problems: - Check-in is clunky. Greeted by an empty lobby with a screen that said it could not help us check in. Eventually a friendly woman showed up. Great. But wait—we have to wait for a second person she is training, who shows up a few minutes later. They should have my email from my online reservation, yet the ask for it. After several quiet minutes of typing, the front desk person said to check my email on my phone. There, is an email with my room number and a code for the door. How is this an improvement from a standard 2 minute check-in anywhere else? - First room had a few issues with the “tech”. The TV and lamps did not work. We did get a new room where things worked - However, the second room’s bathroom floor and shower were very dirty, with long, dark hairs that were not ours. I’d like to support this independent hotel, but will not be back. Sadly, I will go back to one of the maybe chains that just has their act together.

The hand towel fixture was broken. Not enough hangers to hang up your clothes. No proper lighting fixtures. Only two reading stand lamps, so the room was very dark. No access to local TV channels.
